A pre-immunomodulator workup was performed in all patients. Antituberculosis chemoprophylaxis was prescribed in 18% of patients. Viral serologies B and C were positive in 8 and 4% of cases. OI occurred in 42 patients with a mean time between treatment with immunomodulators and the occurrence of infection of 3.3 years. OIs were ubiquitous.
