Abstract

IBD flares or new diagnosis in patients receiving anti-TNF because of other diseases than IBD are rare events but the possibility of a paradoxical reaction must be considered as with psoriasis or uveitis. We present a patient suffering from RA who had a new CD onset after a two-year adalimumab treatment.
