Golimumab may induce exacerbation of inflammatory bowel disease when it is used for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis: a case report with a review of literature.

Golimumab is a human IgG monoclonal antibody specific for human tumor necrosis factor alpha. Golimumab has been approved for use in rheumatological conditions; however, its use in inflammatory bowel disease is still being evaluated in clinical trials. We report a case of an exacerbation of ulcerative proctitis after starting on golimumab for ankylosing spondylitis.
