We report a case of a 19-year-old Caucasian male who was admitted to our Department in February 2010 be- cause of the exacerbation of Crohn's Disease (CD) with a presence of an active perianal fistula. He was then qualified for the biological therapy. A routine electro- cardiogram (ECG) performed at that time demonstrated a normal sinus rhythm - 75beats/min. Subsequently, adalimumab was introduced in standard doses. |
