Increased susceptibility to pneumonia due to tumour necrosis factor inhibition and prospective immune system rescue via immunotherapy

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    The altered immune_response caused by immunomodulators may increase susceptibility to infectious diseases, particularly those caused by commonly encountered respiratory pathogens (Saravolatz et_al, 1979; Wallis et_al, 2004; Baddley et_al, 2014; Murdaca et_al, 2019; Chiu and Chen, 2020). Compared to corticosteroids, TNF inhibitors have a lower risk profile, while also being more efficacious (Helliwell et_al, 2008; Murdaca et_al, 2019; Penso et_al, 2021). Due to its central role in the early innate immune_response, TNF inhibition results in an increase in susceptibility to infection (Minozzi et_al, 2016; Blanchard et_al, 2017; Murdaca et_al, 2019). While TNF inhibitors share a . . .
