Abstract

The autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis (RA) damages the joints and causes pain, swelling, and stiffness. Numerous

symptoms. In this case report, we present the instance of a RA for A 45-year-old female presented with a 3-year history of
joint pain and swelling, along with morning stiffness lasting more than 1 h patient who responded favorably to TNF inhibitor
therapy. This case report highlights the successful treatment of a patient with RA using a TNF inhibitor.
