PReS-FINAL-2112: Mapping the treatment effect of infliximab on a case of refractory anterior uveitis related to juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)

JIA related uveitis usually have an insidious onset and chronic evolution. Some remain refractory to treatment with classic immunomodulators and topical steroids, but have been shown to respond to the addition of biological agents (anti-tnfα). When to start biologicals, how to monitor its ocular response and when and how to wean it, remain a matter for debate. The SUN Working Group scales of cell and flare grading remain the most commonly used method of monitoring intra-ocular inflammation but have clear limitations on the follow-up of chronic cases. The measuring of anterior chamber flare with a Flaremeter is more accurate but less frequently used.
