    Abstract

    Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-targeted therapies are increasingly used for a rapidly expanding number of rheumatic and autoimmune diseases. With this use and longer follow-up periods of treatment, there are a growing number of reports of the development of autoimmune processes related to these new therapeutic agents. We have analyzed the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and patterns of association with the different anti-TNF agents used in all reports of vasculitis developed after TNF-targeted therapy. A total of 132 cases, identified up to July 2008, are included and analyzed in this review.
