This is a registry promoted by the Moroccan Society of Rheumatology, including patients treated for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or spondyloarthritis treated with a biologic drug. The paradoxical reaction was defined by the appearance of a pathology that could be treated by bio\u00adlogical drugs. We investigated the prevalence of paradoxical reactions, and the factors associated with their occurrence. Statistical analysis was performed using JAMOVI software.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>We analyzed 440 patients in the RBSMR. Paradoxical reactions were found in 19 pa- tients (4.6%). The mean time to onset of paradoxical manifestations was 30 weeks (1\u2013144 weeks). Uveitis was the most frequent paradoxical reaction, found in 9 patients, followed by psoriasis in 7 patients, and then pyoderma gangrenosum, lichen, and granulomatous dermatitis in only 1 patient each. These paradoxical effects were found predominantly in men (57.9% of cases). Etanercept was the most prescribed biologic, in 52.6% of patients with paradoxical reactions, followed by adalimumab in 21.1%, golimumab in 15.8%, and secukinumab in 5.3%. Permanent discontinuation of biological treatment was recommended for all patients. In univariate analysis, the occurrence of a paradoxical effect was related to sex (<i>p<\/i> = 0.05) and to disease activity in patients with RA (<i>p<\/i> = 0.04).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>Our study suggests that there is a low prevalence of paradoxical effects in our population. However, these are reactions that need to be identified and investigated to improve the mana\u00adgement of our patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatism.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5114\/reum\/205366","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,10]],"date-time":"2025-09-10T09:23:12Z","timestamp":1757496192000},"page":"244-250","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["What are the characteristics of paradoxical effects in the Biotherapies Registry of the Moroccan Society of Rheumatology?"],"prefix":"10.5114","volume":"63","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1336-0174","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Laila","family":"Taoubane","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0668-5680","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdellah","family":"El Maghraoui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Redouane","family":"Niamane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ihsane","family":"Hmamouchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9847-2142","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fadoua","family":"Allali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rachid","family":"Bahiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ouafae","family":"Mkinsi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hasna","family":"Hassikou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Imad","family":"Ghozlani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bezza","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3061","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref-1509365","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jbspin.2008.12.008"},{"key":"ref-1509366","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0b013e3181441a68"},{"key":"ref-1509367","unstructured":"Smith SW, Hauben M, Aronson JK.
