Abstract

Objective. The efficacy and safety of biosimilar infliximab (bio-IFX) was shown in randomised controlled trials and it was approved for all indications of the reference product in several countries. However, a previous case series of 3 patients with Behcet's syndrome (BS) reported disappointing results. We aimed to share our experience with bio-IFX treatment in different types of organ involvement in patients with BS.
