Description: Infections are the most common adverse events associated with the use of tumour necrosis factor-{alpha} (TNF-{alpha}) inhibitors in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and neurological complications are far less common.
We report on a 72-yr-old female patient with RA who developed severe Parkinson's disease while treated with infliximab.
