etanercept, infliximab , adalimumab all block tnf alpha which lead to decrease macrophage function and reactivation of tb. They decrease joint erosion, improve synovitis and slow disease progression and thus are often used in the treatment of Rheumatoid athritis.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
