The use of infliximab in X-linked agammaglobulinaemia associated enteropathy.

Abstract

Granulomatous small bowel enteropathy is an unusual presentation associated with X-linked agammaglobulinaemia. We present a rare case of this condition that was further complicated by an enterocutaneous fistula and report our experience managing this condition successfully with infliximab, which has not been documented in the literature previously.
