Abstract
In the summary of product characteristics of infliximab (IFX), psychiatric side effects are reported to be rare, and in literature only limited data exist. This report presents a case of a patient with ulcerative colitis who developed a depression with psychotic symptoms during IFX therapy and made a suicide attempt 4months after the initiation of therapy. Although the time between start of IFX therapy and onset of symptoms could suggest a correlation, this, of course, does not prove that IFX was the causative factor for his depression and suicide attempt
