Abstract
A group of experts in the management of Infliximab participated in the drafting of a consensus document for the management, administration and monitoring of Infliximab. Following a systematic search of the literature of related evidence in different areas, recommendations were consensuated. The drafting of the document required three meetings to agree on the specifics, a revision on the part of the members of the expert panel and a final revision by two independent evaluators from the Spanish Society of Rheumatology before final approval was granted. This consensus document is intended as a guide on the use of Infliximab for those professionals who start administering such drug.
