Marginal melting of cornea in rheumatoid arthritis.

Y Scharf, E Meyer, M Nahir, S Zonis.   

Abstract

There was marginal melting of the cornea in a patient with inactive rheumatoid arthritis. Conjunctival biopsy revealed vasculitis which disappeared after treatment with topical steroids and systemic steroids and azathioprine. Conjunctival biopsy can serve as a diagnostic tool and for evaluation of treatment in marginal ulceration of cornea associated with rheumatoid disease.
