摘要: Infliximab is a human-murine chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha). and other TNF blockers are used to treat inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). suspected play key role in some infections. We report here two cases of Listeria monocytogenes sepsis associated with infliximab treatment for RA. The first patient developed terminal ileitis bacteraemia after three doses infliximab; the second RA presented prosthetic joint left hip, both related Listeria. Those occurred population 518 patients treated our hospitals since year 2000. events particular interest because severity infection, differs from infections, that, rheumatology unit, septic can mimic symptoms. They enhance likelihood this drug increase risk infections germs like
