People with certain types of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis, have used Embrel (etanercept) to treat symptoms. Enbrel worked by controlling the inflammation caused by rheumatoid arthritis.

Serious infections and fatalities were revealed shortly after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the drug. In May 1999, the FDA required that Immunex Corp., the maker of Enbrel, strengthen the warnings on the drug box to highlight the side effects.

Side effects of fungal infection include:

• Persistent fever
• Weight loss sweats
• Cough
• Fatigue
