Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disorder. Treatment strategies for CD are targeted toward various components of the proinflammatory mediators and subsequent immune response. Recently, the anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) monoclonal antibody, infliximab has been used in patients with CD. However, uncommon and unusual infections have been reported during anti-TNF-Ձ therapy and immunomodulator. Here, we report a case of pityriasis versicolor occurring in a patient with CD receiving infliximab treatment. The patient was successfully treated with topical ketoconazole.
