Core Tip |
Anti-TNF antagonist therapy implies significant tuberculosis (TB) risk in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients residing in areas with an intermediate burden of TB infection. The risk of susceptibility to TB under anti-TNF treatment is associated with latent TB infection and considerable immunosuppression. Rigorous and sustained assessment of TB infection should be implemented in Korean IBD patients undergoing anti-TNF therapy. |
