“…Sarcoidosis-associated scleritis may present as anterior diffuse, 47 anterior nodular, 47-49 or posterior scleritis. 50 All of the reported cases were women with ages ranging from 53 to 64 years old 47-49 which were on average older than most patients with sarcoid uveitis, except one patient (42-year-old man) with posterior scleritis who also had annular ciliochoroidal effusion. 50 Sarcoidosis-associated scleritis is more likely non-necrotizing, and tends to respond well to oral corticosteroids.…”

“…The most commonly associated rheumatic diseases are RA (18-33%); systemic vasculitis (7-19%), of which Wegener's granulomatosis is the most common; systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)(4-7%); inflammatory bowel disease (4-7%), and relapsing polychondritis (3%) [3,17]. Less commonly associated conditions include sarcoidosis [19,20], cryoglobulinemia [21], and hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis [22]. The most commonly associated infection is herpes zoster [18].…”

“…Anterior scleritis is an unusual ophthalmologic finding in sarcoidosis, and it has been related with Löf-gren's syndrome in a few cases [2]. Sporadic case reports [3] describe a good response to corticosteroids, but in this case, the scleritis responded well to non-steroidal antiinflamatory medication. The treatment of sarcoidosis with corticosteroids is not recommended [4] for stage II pulmonary sarcoidosis because 50 % of the untreated patients heal spontaneously.…”
