Abstract
Uveitis is one of the major features of behcet's disease with relapse and remission pattern. Severe presentation can be resistant to the conventional treatment. Steroid has been used in the treatment of acute behcet's uveitis, although it especially has its own ocular complications when used in large doses. We describe to patients presented with acute uveitis while on treatment, uveitis was controlled by adding anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and Infliximab.
