Abstract

The clinical use of TNF-alpha inhibitors have been increasing in the treatment of autoimmune disorders. The most common anti-TNF-alpha agents on clinical use are ethanercept, infliximab and adalimumab. TNF- alpha is an important mediator in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis, therefore the use of TNFAI increases the risk of tuberculosis. Patients who are on anti-TNF alpha treatment should be carefully evaluated for tuberculosis risk before and during therapy. The recommended screening tools are detailed history, physical examination, tuberculin skin test and/or interferon gamma (IFN-release assay and chest X-Ray every six months.

Özet

Otoimmün hastalıkların tedavisinde tümör nekroz faktörü-alfa (TNF-) inhibitörlerinin kullanımı son yıllarda giderek artış göstermektedir. Kli- nikte en çok kullanılan TNF-inhibitörleri; etanersept, infliksimab ve adalimumabtır. TNF-; tüberküloz patogenezinde önemli yer tutan bir mediatör olduğundan, TNF-inhibitörlerinin kullanımının tüberküloz gelişim riskini artırması şaşırtıcı değildir. Bu risk TNF-inhibitörü ajanları içinde de farklılık göstermektedir. Bu nedenle TNF-inhibitörü kulla- nımı adayı olan hastalar tedavi öncesi ve sırasında tüberküloz gelişimi açısından yakın takip edilmelidir. Tarama için altı ayda bir ayrıntılı anam- nez, fizik muayene, tüberkülin deri testi ve/veya interferon gama (IFN-) salınım testi ile akciğer grafisi önerilmektedir.
