Consumer:

Etanercept has been associated with the reactivation of tuberculosis and new tuberculosis infections have been observed during the course of treatment, including patients who have previously received treatment for latent or active tuberculosis. Tuberculosis has developed in patients who tested negative for latent tuberculosis prior to initiation of therapy. Patients should be evaluated for tuberculosis risk factors and tested for latent infection prior to initiating etanercept and periodically during therapy. Anti-tuberculosis therapy should also be considered prior to initiation of etanercept in patients with a past history of latent or active tuberculosis in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed, and for patients with a negative test for latent tuberculosis but having risk factors for tuberculosis infection. Tuberculosis should be strongly considered in patients who develop a new infection during etanercept treatment, especially in patients who have previously or recently traveled to countries with a high prevalence of tuberculosis, or who have had close contact with a person with active tuberculosis.
