Tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitors and demyelinating disease: what is behind it?

The development of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-) inhibitors is probably one of the most significant advancement in the management of a number of inflammatory rheumatic disorders to date. High efficacy of the treatment is associated with relatively rare and very heterogeneous adverse reactions....
