AB  - Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibitors indicated in the management of 
      psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and other 
      autoimmune diseases have been associated with the development of mycobacterial 
      and other opportunistic infections. The majority of mycobacterial infections 
      diagnosed in patients taking TNF-alpha inhibitors are secondary to Mycobacterium 
      tuberculosis. Atypical mycobacteria have also been identified in this patient 
      population, most commonly manifested by pulmonary or disseminated infections. 
      Extra-pulmonary manifestations such as bone and joint infections are rare. We 
      describe a case of atypical mycobacterial tenosynovitis in the setting of 
      adalimumab use in a patient with psoriasis. This is a rarely reported 
      complication that one should be aware of when prescribing these medications.
