Title: Infliximab no tratamento da artrite psoriásica grave / Infliximab in treatment of severe psoriatic arthritis Source: An. bras. dermatol;80(5):535-537, set.-out. 2005. ilus. Language: Pt. Abstract: A artrite psoriásica tem sido reconhecida como doenca imunomediada, em que há participacäo de células T produtoras de citocinas (fator de necrose tumoral-alfa). O infliximab é anticorpo monoclonal que se liga e inativa o fator de necrose tumoral-alfa. Relata-se um caso de artrite psoriásica grave, refratária a várias terapêuticas sistêmicas, tratado com infliximab 5mg/kg, em infusäo venosa de três horas, nas semanas 0, 2, 6 e 14, associado com baixa dose de metotrexato, que apresentou excelente resposta terapêutica.

Language: Es. Abstract: La psoriasis es una enfermedad autoinmune, crónica; que hoy se reconoce que está mediada por los linfocitos T, asociada a señales co-estimulatorias cuya función principal es la secreción de citoquinas. En la actualidad existen nuevos productos biológicos capaces de inhibir algunas citoquinas, como el factor de necrosis tumoral alfa (FNT) la cual intervienen en este intrincado proceso. Presentamos una paciente de 35 años con diagnóstico de psoriasis en placa desde 1989, que recibió múltiples tratamientos (corticosteroides tópicos, derivados de la vitamina D, UVB, PUVA, metrotrexano, acitretino, ciclosporina, colchicina). Desde el año 2001 presenta eritrodermia psoriática a tratamiento, por lo que se decide el uso de infliximab (anticuerpo monoclonal contra el factor de necrosis tumoral alfa) a una dosis de 3 mg/kg peso. Después de la segunda semana de haber recibido el tratamiento, experimentó una mejoría notable de la psoriasis, con una reducción de un 81 por ciento de PAST con respecto al ingreso la cual ha persistido después de 5 dosis(AU).

Title: Evaluación del tratamiento con infliximab en enfermos con artritis inflamatoria refractaria a drogas habituales / Effectiveness of infliximab in patients with inflammatory arthritis refractory to conventional treatment Source: Rev. méd. Chile;131(10):1157-1164, oct. 2003. Language: Es. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis factor antagonists are useful in the treatment of several chronic inflammatory immune mediated diseases. AIM: To assess the effects of infliximab in 21 patients with inflammatory arthropaties, refractary to conventional treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eleven patients with rheumatoid arthritis, seven with psoriatic arthritis and three with spondyloarthritis were treated. The mean duration of the diseases was 10 years. Infliximab was administered intravenously in a dose of 3 mg/kg body weight. A median of 6 doses in 8 months was administered. Effectiveness was assessed in 19 patients that received three or more doses. RESULTS: Infliximab was effective in 16 patients (10 with rheumatoid arthritis, four with psoriasis and two with spondyloarthritis) and ineffective in three. In responsive patients, a reduction in the number of inflammed joints and morning stiffness and an improvement in functional capacity was observed. Fifteen of the 16 patients perceived an improvement in their health status. This answer was concordant with concomitant medical evaluation in 15. Patients that maintained the treatment felt very well, well or regular, whereas five of six patients that discontinued the treatment felt ill. Thirteen patients had adverse effects. Treatment was discontinued in two patients due to drug induced lupus, allergy in 2, hypertension in one, high costs in three and lack of response in three. CONCLUSIONS: Infliximab reduced arthritic activity in 16 of 19 patients with severe treatment refractary arthritis. (AU).
