Summary

Biological treatments employing therapeutic monoclonal antibodies against TNF-α are very eff ective and safe, and the side effects of such treatments are usually mild and well-tolerated. However, such treatments are sometimes associated with severe acute and chronic side effects, which have been attributed to secondary immunopathologies induced by TNF-α blockage. Early and delayed hypersensitivity reactions to therapeutic immunoglobulins are most frequent, as well as reactions associated with induced imbalances of the immune system. Cytokine imbalance or antigen cross-reactivity is significantly rarer. This paper reviews the classifi cation and immunopathological complications of anti-TNF-α blockers.

Key words:
