Anti-tumour necrosis factor α therapy - Does it increase the risk of thyroid disease or protect against its development?

CONCLUSIONS: The real impact of anti-TNF-α therapy on the development of AITD remains an open question. The available studies concern the adult population; there are no data regarding this problem in children. Due to the increasing use of anti-TNF-α therapy also in the paediatric population, it seems reasonable to evaluate this subject in this group of patients.
