We administered etanercept because of the occurrence of repeated flares despite aggressive therapy. C-reactive protein normalization; prednisolone dose-sparing; and absence of any adverse events, including HBV reactivation with nucleotide analogue administration, or renal dysfunction, have been achieved for 8 months. TNF-α blockade should be considered for intractable CPAN. © 2012 Japan College of Rheumatology., In Press → 出版者照会後に全文を公開.}, pages = {1029--1033}, title = {A case of refractory cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa in a patient with hepatitis B carrier status successfully treated with tumor necrosis factor alpha blockade}, volume = {23}, year = {2013} }
