She suddenly developed intermittent high fever and general fatigue with liver dysfunction, remarkable lymphocytosis and laboratory data suggestive of CMV reactivation. Her clinical symptoms quickly improved after the cessation of methotrexate and infliximab without the use of anti-viral drugs such as ganciclovir. CMV-induced IMLS might be a cause of persistent fever in RA patients, particularly when biologics are used for treatment., Article, INTERNAL MEDICINE. 49(10):937-940 (2010)}, pages = {937--940}, title = {Cytomegalovirus-induced Infectious Mononucleosis-like Syndrome in a Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient Treated with Methotrexate and Infliximab}, volume = {49}, year = {2010} }
