Sepsis From Xeljanz

I am in hospital and have been put on antibiotics. I have a bone infection (left knee) and an abscess in my TMJ. Could taking Xeljanz have caused this?

One of the most serious side effects of Xeljanz is the risk of serious infections, other side effects may include high blood pressure, diarrhea, anemia, Rheumatoid arthritis, and pyrexia.

So yes, it is possible that the Xeljanz caused these issues by making you more susceptible to infectious bacteria.

What have your doctors said about the issue?
