Need for discontinuation of biotherapy (anti-TNF alpha or tocilizumab) and conventional immunosuppressants (mycofenolate mofetil, methotrexate, azathioprine, cyclosporine, interferon alpha 2a) for at least 10 days prior to the inclusion date. 3. Patient of legal age who has read and understood the information letter and signed the consent form. 4. Patient affiliated to a social security plan. 5. Patient under 75 years of age 6. Female: a. Of childbearing age: - Using effective contraception (estrogen-progestin or intrauterine device or tubal ligation) for at least 4 weeks prior to inclusion, during treatment, and until 1 week after discontinuation of treatment And, - Presenting a negative urine pregnancy test at inclusion; b. Surgically infertile: no ovaries and/or uterus; c. Menopausal: confirmatory diagnosis (non-medically induced amenorrhea for at least 12 months prior to the inclusion visit). 7. A negative quantiferon less than 6 months old (6 months included) and a normal chest x-ray less than 3 months old (3 months included) or a positive quantiferon in patients with a history of previously treated latent TB according to current recommendations. 8. HIV, HCV and HBV serology with no active infection, less than 1 month old (1 month included).
