ABSTRACT
Infliximab, a chimeric monoclonal antibody, is a TNF-a inhibitor approved for use in refractory rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn s disease. We present the case of a patient affected by severe rheumatoid arthritis who was successfully treated with infliximab. She suffered diverse neurological complications brachial plexitis, asymptomatic thoracic myelitis with extensive lesions in MRI study, and herpes zoster lumbar plexitis. We review the neurological adverse effects of infliximab (aseptic meningitis, opportunistic germs infections, disseminated herpes zoster) and focus in their potential adverse effect to induce central and peripheral nervous system demyelination.
