Abstract
En 中文
Peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK) is an inflammatory condition of the peripheral cornea with hallmark features of epithelial defects and stromal destruction as a result of a complex interplay of factors including host autoimmunity and the peculiar anatomic and physiologic features of the peripheral cornea and environmental factors. PUK may be the result of local or systemic causes and infectious or noninfectious causes. Arriving at a specific etiological diagnosis requires a meticulous clinical workup that may include a battery of laboratory and radiological investigations. Management by a team of internists or rheumatologists and ophthalmologists and judicious use of immunosuppressive agents may yield favorable results minimizing adverse effects. We review current clinical knowledge on the diagnosis and management of PUK. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..
