摘要
Evidence supports the association of tuberculosis (TB) with tumor necrosis factor inhibitor therapy in patients who have rheumatoid arthritis. There seem to be differential risks of TB with the currently available inhibitors. Screening for latent TB infection with purified protein derivative is indicated for patients who are being considered for treatment; it seems to be effective in reducing the occurrence of TB in treated patients.
