Abstract Purpose : Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) such as infliximab (IFX) and adalimumab have been shown to be efficacious not only for rheumatoid arthritis but also for Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) .... However, only a limited number of reports regarding the effect of TNFi on AS in Japan ese population have been published. Materials and method s : We retrospectively evaluated all 11 patients (8 males and 3 females) with AS who were treated with IFX. Results : After a mean follow-up period of 19 months, the mean BAS DAI decreased from 4.7 ±2.2 to 1.7 ± 1.2 and the serum CRP level decreased from 1.62±1.94 mg/dl to 0.23±0.45 mg/dl. There was no case of serious infection or anaphylaxis. Conclusions : Our results indicate that IFX is efficacious and safe for AS in Japanese patients.
【背景】インフリキシマブ(IFX)やアダリムマブといったTNF 阻害剤は関節リウマチだけでなく,強直性脊椎炎(AS)でも有効であることが示されている.しかしながら,本邦におけるTNF 阻害剤のASに対する有効性に関する報告はほとんどないが現状である.【材料と方法】我々は11 例のAS 症例にIFXを投与し,その有効性と安全性について検討を行った.【結果】平均観察期間は19 カ月であった.疾患活動性の評価指標であるBASDAI は投与開始前の4.7 ± 2.2から最終観察時には1.7 ± 1.2 まで低下した.また,CRPは投与開始前の1.62 ± 1.94 mg/dL から最終観察時には0.23 ± 0.45 mg/dLまで低下した.アナフィラキシーや重篤感染症を合併した症例は認めなかった.【結論】日本人においてもIFXはASに対して有効かつ安全であると考えられた.
