The presence of such as association causes diagnostic and management dilemmas as sarcoidosis has been reported to develop in patients of AS treated with tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors. We describe a 49-year-old male with ankylosing spondylitis and histologically proven sarcoidosis who was treated with infliximab and improved. .
结节病是一种炎症性多系统疾病,极少情况下可能与强直性脊柱炎(AS)等其他自身免疫性疾病共存于患者体内。这种关联的存在会导致诊断和治疗困境,因为据报道,在接受肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)抑制剂治疗的AS患者中会出现结节病。我们描述了一名49岁患有强直性脊柱炎且经组织学证实为结节病的男性患者,他接受了英夫利昔单抗治疗并病情好转。
