Abstract

Acute anterior uveitis is the most common extra-articular clinical manifestation of spondyloarthropathy. Rheumatologists should be aware of uveitis, know how it presents, understand the differential diagnosis of uveitis and arthritis, and be familiar with the role of systemic medications in the treatment or prevention of uveitis.

Keywords: Acute anterior uveitis; Ankylosing spondylitis; Iritis; Spondyloarthropathy; Sulfasalazine; TNF inhibitors; Uveitis.
