  • Title: Retinal vasculitis in rheumatoid arthritis.
    Author: Martin MF, Scott DG, Gilbert C, Dieppe PA, Easty DL.
    Journal: Br Med J (Clin Res Ed); 1981 May 30; 282(6278):1745-6. PubMed ID: 6786602.
    Abstract:
    A woman with exacerbation of severe rheumatoid arthritis developed lesions compatible with retinal vasculitis. Laboratory studies confirmed the diagnosis, and the rapid clinical improvement that accompanied a fall in circulating immune complexes suggested that the vasculitis was a direct consequence of the rheumatoid disease. From these observations retinal vasculitis should probably be sought in any patient with rheumatoid disease and the vasculitis added to the list of ocular complications of rheumatoid arthritis.
