Infliximab infusions (5 mg\/kg) were administered at weeks 0, 2, 6, and 14. Weeks 0\u201322 were defined as the infusion period, and weeks 23\u201354 were defined as the observation period. Patients continued to receive azathioprine and corticosteroids, but cyclosporine was discontinued after the screening visit. The primary outcome measures were the absence of uveitis attacks during the infusion period (remission), and the absence of uveitis attacks throughout the study period (sustained remission).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Thirteen patients were enrolled in the study. Thirty\u2010two uveitis attacks involving the posterior segment occurred during the previous\u2010treatment period. During the infusion period, 4 patients (30.8%) remained attack\u2010free, and 9 patients had a total of 13 uveitis attacks. Ten of these attacks (76.9%) occurred at either week 14 or week 22. One of 13 patients fulfilled the definition of sustained remission, and the remaining 12 patients had a total of 36 uveitis attacks during the observation period. The mean number of uveitis attacks and daily corticosteroid doses were significantly lower during the infusion period than during the previous\u2010treatment period or the observation period. Although potential visual acuity was regained following infliximab infusion, this beneficial effect was not preserved until week 54. None of the patients experienced a serious adverse event.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results of this trial suggest that infliximab is effective in suppressing the occurrence of uveitis attacks, has a corticosteroid\u2010sparing effect, and has favorable implications for the visual prognosis of patients with resistant Beh\u00e7et's uveitis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/art.21231","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,7,28]],"date-time":"2005-07-28T21:46:50Z","timestamp":1122587210000},"page":"2478-2484","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":230,"title":["Efficacy of infliximab in the treatment of uveitis that is resistant to treatment with the combination of azathioprine, cyclosporine, and corticosteroids in beh\u00e7et's disease: An open\u2010label trial"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Ilknur","family":"Tugal\u2010Tutkun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdulbaki","family":"Mudun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meri","family":"Urgancioglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sevil","family":"Kamali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Esen","family":"Kasapoglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Murat","family":"Inanc","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmet","family":"G\u00fcl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajo.2004.03.022"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/sarh.2001.19819"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1076\/0927-3948(200006)8:2;1-0;FT085"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199002013220501"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(89)92381-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.76.4.241"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000060761"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","first-page":"92","article-title":"Therapy of Beh\u00e7et's disease","volume":"5","author":"Kotter I","year":"1996","journal-title":"Ger J Ophthalmol"},{"issue":"24","key":"e_1_2_5_10_2","first-page":"S6","article-title":"Beh\u00e7et's disease: an update on the pathogenesis","volume":"19","author":"Gul A","year":"2001","journal-title":"Clin Exp Rheumatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rdc.2004.01.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.gastro.2004.02.070"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/rheumatology\/keh205"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(01)05497-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.61.suppl_2.ii51"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(01)06677-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.60.6.637"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.61.6.560"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_19_2","first-page":"1078","article-title":"Behcet's Disease.
