We read with interest the article by Charles et al concerning the possible relationship between tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockade and the induction of anti–doublestranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)–like syndromes (1). Herein we describe a patient who developed a nephrotic syndrome as an adverse effect of treatment with anti-TNFα, without the presence of antidsDNA or signs of SLE.The patient was diagnosed in 1982 as having rheumatoid factor–positive, antinuclear antibody (ANA)–negative erosive rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Shortly after diagnosis he was treated with D-penicillamine and then with parenteral aurothioglucose. This was stopped in 1984 because of proteinuria (to 1.5 gm/liter). After cessation of this therapy, the proteinuria completely disappeared. Disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy was continued, this time with methotrexate, followed again by aurothioglucose. Proteinuria did not develop during this second episode of gold therapy, nor did it occur during the next several years. Thereafter he was treated with a succession of DMARDs, without clinical efficacy.
