Possibly. I haven't been on Remicade - have been on Enbrel and now Humira - and I don't know enough about it. However, I believe that the general guideline for the Biologics is that if you are sick or have an infection, the treatment is postponed. If you do get your dose while the illness is still in your body, the dip in your immune system can bring it back with a vengeance. I'd suggest that you call your rheumatologist office to check before you go in.
