Bronchitis With Remicade?
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I'm concerned that I might have bronchitis and I am on remicade (if you couldn't guess from my subtle title) I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this, would they just delay my infusions until the bronchitis clears up if that's what this is? I've heard of all the dangers of pneumonia and biologics, but haven't read anything about bronchitis. Thanks for any input, hope you all are staying as well as can be today :)
