    Author: Mitamura Y, Fujiwara O, Miyanishi K, Sato H, Saga K, Ohtsuka K.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 2004 Feb; 137(2):368-70. PubMed ID: 14962440.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report a case of nodular scleritis and panuveitis associated with erythema elevatum diutinum, a rare immunocomplex-mediated skin disease. DESIGN: Observational case report. METHODS: A 22-year-old woman who was diagnosed with erythema elevatum diutinum developed nodular scleritis and panuveitis of the right eye. She had experienced peripheral ulcerative keratitis with corneal perforation. RESULTS: All other known causes of nodular scleritis and panuveitis were investigated and ruled out. CONCLUSIONS: Erythema elevatum diutinum should be considered as an underlying systemic disease associated with nodular scleritis and panuveitis as well as peripheral keratitis.
