Biologic therapy-Related demyelinating peripheral neuropathy in a child with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Journal Title: Archives of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Demyelinating peripheral neuropathy has been described in association with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors. It is rarely developed after treatment discontinuation. We present the case of a child with juvenile idiopathic arthritis who developed peripheral neuropathy few months after TNF inhibitor withdrawal with clinical worsening of the neurological sequelae while undergoing treatment with abatacept.
