Multidrug resistant miliary tuberculosis during infliximab therapy despite tuberculosis screening.

We describe an unusual case of multidrug-resistant miliary tuberculosis diagnosed 9 months after the commencement of infliximab treatment for psoriasis despite negative pretreatment tuberculosis screening, including chest X-ray and interferon-gamma release assay. After 4 months' treatment with amikacin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide and moxifloxacin, infliximab was restarted with concomitant anti-TB medications. No recurrence of tuberculosis has been detected 12 months after recommencing infliximab.
