ABSTRACT
Secondary amyloidosis is one of the most serious complications in chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. The extracellular deposit of aggregates of amyloid leads to target organ dysfunction. The mainstay treatment of secondary amyloidosis is the control of underlying disease activity. Many reports have reported that TNF-alpha inhibitors improve clinical outcomes. Here, we encountered a 34-year-old patient with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis who developed secondary amyloidosis despite treatment with TNF-alpha inhibitors. We present this case and include a review of the literature.
