Résumé
Anti-TNF-alpha (infliximab and etanercept) are potent, selective inhibitors of the inflammatory cascade. They have been widely used in the therapy of rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease and psoriasis. Their efficacy in ophthalmology has been recently proven. The wide use of cytokines inhibitors could also be very useful in the therapy of neovessels in macular degeneration age-related, since the role of inflammation in the proliferation of neovessels has been recently discovered.
