Screening
Before starting immunosuppressive therapy, consider the following investigations:
- Tuberculin skin test
- Strongyloides serology, if from endemic country
- Hep B and C serology
- Cytomegalovirus serology
- HIV serology
Management
- Latent TB infection: start treatment at least 4 weeks prior to starting the biologic
