چکیده

As manifestações oculares que podem ocorrer em pacientes com doenças reumáticas e algumas das opções terapêuticas atuais têm sido objeto de publicações científicas. Vale lembrar que a incidência de doenças sistêmicas em uveíte chega a 40% e que em grande parte as uveítes são causadas pelas doenças reumáticas. Medicações que incluem corticosteróides, imunossupressores e agentes biológicos, utilizadas freqüentemente em doença inflamatória ocular severa, não são de uso continuado pelos serviços de oftalmologia, o que faz com que inúmeras vezes reumatologistas sejam solicitados para investigar, acompanhar, prescrever medicamentos ou orientar condutas em situações de doença sistêmica.
