Infliximab allergy: In the true since of the word, it is better to say infliximab reaction. The "allergic type" reactions can occur because a large amount of protein is being given IV in a short period of time. Patients may experience shortness of breath, itching, wheezing, and a rash. In rare cases patients may experience a decrease in blood pressure. Most rheumatologist give medications before given the infusion to help mitigate the side effects.
