Abnormal host defense against pathogens has been implicated in the pathogenesis of spondylarthropathy (SpA), a disease characterized by abundant synovial infiltration with innate immune cells. Given the role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in activation of innate inflammation and the occurrence of TLR-dependent infections after tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) blockade treatment, the present study was undertaken to analyze TLRs and their modulation by TNFalpha blockade in SpA
