Onset of Multiple Sclerosis Associated With Anti-TNF Therapy
Neurol 57:1885-1888, Sicotte,N.L. &Voskuhl,R.R., 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Therapies aimed at inhibiting tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a proinflammatory cytokine implicated in autoimmune disease are effective, especially for rheumatoid arthritis. We report a patient with new onset MS closely associated with the initiation of anti-TNF therapy for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. It is possible that the inhibition of TNF triggered MS in this individual.
