Early instauration granulomatous pneumonitis associated with use of etanercept in seronegative spondyloarthropathy: Case report.

ABSTRACT: Spondyloarthropathies are a group of chronic inflammatory disorders that involve the joints of the axial skeleton, peripheral joints and have extra-articular manifestations. Treatment includes inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor α. Currently there are five approved inhibitors: a soluble receptor, Etanercept and four monoclonal. Etanercept has very low toxicity with pulmonary adverse reactions being very rare. We present the case of a patient who developed respiratory symptoms and pulmonary infiltrates of rapid evolution after the third dose of treatment with Etanercept.
