Abstract
Scleritis is a painful, destructive inflammatory eye disease. We measured serum IL-1 beta in ten patients with diffuse scleritis and in control subjects matched for age and sex. Patients with diffuse scleritis were found to have significantly elevated serum concentrations of IL-1 beta in comparison to normal subjects (P less than 0.02). The results suggest that IL-1 beta is associated with diffuse scleritis and may influence scleral breakdown in diffuse scleritis.Entities:
