Abstract
Conclusion. - Older age and high-dose glucocorticoid therapy are associated with an increased risk of severe pyogenic infection during infliximab therapy. Caution is in order when starting and monitoring infliximab therapy in patients with risk factors. Our data also emphasize the need for a careful search for risk factors before each infliximab infusion.
