Core Tip	The use of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibitors are increasing worldwide for the treatment of several chronic immune-mediated diseases as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). As the drugs are relatively new on the market, their long-term safety profile remains uncertain. In particular, a concern regarding an increased infections risk has been debated. In the current topic highlight, a brief overview of the current literature regarding the risk of infections in patients with IBD exposed to TNF-α inhibitors is outlined.
