Long-term clinical outcomes in patients with refractory uveitis associated with Behçet disease treated with infliximab.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To assess long-term efficacy and safety of infliximab for refractory Behçet disease (BD) uveitis and to evaluate the effect of withdrawal of infliximab after achieving long-term remission. METHODS:Retrospective study of 19 patients. RESULTS:Mean follow-up was 44.1 ± 36.5 months and mean number of infliximab infusions was 21.6 ± 14.6. At end of follow-up, there was significant improvement of visual acuity and reduction of central macular thickness. All patients achieved remission, 14 of whom were able to discontinue corticosteroids. Ten patients developed autoantibodies and 1 patient developed infusion reactions. Eight eyes underwent intraocular surgery without exacerbation of quiescent uveitis. After achieving complete remission, 5 patients discontinued infliximab and maintained remission during a mean of 24.6 ± 5.5 months. CONCLUSIONS:Infliximab is effective and safe for long-term treatment for refractory BD uveitis. Repeated infusions are required to maintain long-term remission, which may be sustained despite withdrawal of infliximab. Induction of autoantibodies is common.
