pubmed:abstractText |
Severe alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is associated with very high mortality. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) contributes to the progression of AH and TNF-alpha antagonists like infliximab may help in ameliorating the severity and complications of AH. There is a scarcity of data regarding the safety and efficacy of infliximab monotherapy in the treatment of AH. We evaluated infliximab monotherapy in patients with severe AH.
