Hi.
I am new to this forum.
My GI is considering putting me on Remicade. I had various tests done the other day, including a Mantoux.
Well, it turned out to be positive, which means my body is harbouring latent TB bacteria. I will have to undergo a nine month drug course to get rid of it. This also definitely confirms that my immune system is weakened. My question is, will I still be able to start Remicade ? Has this happened to anyone else ?
Thanks.
