Abstract : Patients under immunosuppressive therapy with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) antagonists are vulnerable to various opportunistic infections including leishmaniasis. We present a case series of 8 travellers developing cutaneous leishmaniasis whilst on TNF-α antagonist treatment and review the literature on aspects of cutaneous leishmaniasis developing in patients treated with TNF-α antagonists. We make interim recommendations regarding the drug therapy used to maintain remission in travellers with rheumatoid disease travelling to leishmania prone areas. Despite having a medical condition requiring continued rheumatological review the interval to diagnosis appears not to be reduced compared to that described in non-rheumatoid patients. Rheumatologists and family doctors should be aware of the need for post-travel surveillance for leishmaniasis in rheumatoid patients on TNF-alpha antagonist treatment.
