Successful Treatment of Severe Behçet's Disease with Infliximab in an Italian Olympic Athlete. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
J Rheumatol 2008 May; 35(5):930-932.
An Italian Olympic athlete with a severe form of Behçet's disease was given infliximab. He had oral aphthosis, papulopustular and follicular lesions, and a bilateral cystoid macular edema. After the first 3 infusions, the mucocutaneous lesions disappeared and cystoid macular edema was much improved. Cyclosporine was stopped and the prednisone dose was progressively tapered until the cystoid macular edema disappeared.
