Abstract
- Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is characterized by ulcerative skin lesions. Infliximab (IFX) may promote PG healing in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, but whether IFX is effective for treating PG in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has not reported. We report the case of a 53-year-old woman with PG complicated by RA who was treated using IFX therapy. This case suggests that IFX therapy might offer effective treatment for such patients.
