Hi, I wonder if anyone is having the same experience . My husband is currently on infliximab at a 6weekly dose for Crohns Colitis . 8 weekly did not work and was sub-therapeutic. 6 weekly trough levels proved drug is now therapeutic and there are no antibodies , which is great. However , his Crp has risen to 47 and Esr is 31. We believe this to be high . He is well in himself so we cannot understand why this Is happening . Should we be concerned and consider talking to our consultant about changing drug ?

Thanks for any help. We hate this condition and the constant curve balls it keep producing!
