概要:

We describe a patient with refractory cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (CPAN) with hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier status who was successfully treated with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) blockade, using etanercept, and we review 5 similar cases. We administered etanercept because of the occurrence of repeated flares despite aggressive therapy. C-reactive protein normalization; prednisolone dose-sparing; and absence of any adverse events, including HBV … reactivation with nucleotide analogue administration, or renal dysfunction, have been achieved for 8 months. TNF-α blockade should be considered for intractable CPAN. © 2012 Japan College of Rheumatology.<br />This is the pre-peer reviewed version of the following article: http://informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.3109/s10165-012-0732-8, which has been published in final form at http://dspace.lib.kanazawa-u.ac.jp/dspace/handle/2297/36280 . 続きを見る
