Zusammenfassung

Während die Entwicklung von Autoantikörpern im Zusammenhang mit einer Therapie mit TNF-α-Antagonisten häufig ist, so entwickeln doch nur wenige Patienten einen durch diese Präparate induzierten klinisch manifesten Lupus erythematodes. Insbesondere bei Einsatz des vollhumanisierten TNF-Antagonisten Adalimumab scheinen diese kutanen unerwünschten Wirkungen deutlich seltener aufzutreten als bei anderen Präparaten. Wir berichten über eine Patientin mit rheumatoider Arthritis, bei der es 8 Monate nach Beginn einer Adalimumab-Therapie zu einem Lupus erythematodes tumidus an beiden Handrücken sowie zur Entwicklung von Antihiston-Antikörpern kam.

Abstract

Patients treated with TNF-α inhibitors frequently have serum autoantibodies, but only a few develop clinically apparent lupus erythematosus. The TNF-α inhibitor adalimumab is a fully humanized antibody and seems to induce autoantibodies less frequently than other drugs of this group. We report on a patient with rheumatoid arthritis, who developed anti-histone antibodies and lupus tumidus after eight months on adalimumab therapy.
