Development of Eosinophilic Fasciitis during Infliximab Therapy for Psoriatic Arthritis

الملخص EN

Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is a rare disorder involving chronic inflammation of the fascia and connective tissue surrounding muscles, nerves, and blood vessels.

While its pathogenesis is not entirely understood, this disorder is thought to be autoimmune or allergic in nature.

We present here a case of a 59-year-old male who developed peripheral eosinophilia and subsequent eosinophilic fasciitis during treatment with infliximab.

To our knowledge, eosinophilic fasciitis has not been previously described in patients during treatment with an inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor α.
