摘要: Background Infliximab, an anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibody, administered to Behcet’s disease (BD) patients in Japan with refractory intraocular inflammation, has shown excellent clinical results. However, some demonstrate a decreased response infliximab during the course of treatment. In present study, we investigated correlation between this reduced therapeutic effect and elevation serum antinuclear antibody (ANA) titers BD who were undergoing therapy.
