A case of uveitis in a child with systemic scleroderma
The author reports of a long-term observation of a child with systemic scleroderma that preserved its immunological activity despite continuous therapy. At the 10th year of disease an eye lesion developed at the side of the face where a «strike-of-asward» scar had formed. An active and long-term therapy (prednisolone + methotrexate + local therapy with dexamethasone suspension and 4 % solution of taufonum) permitted to suppress the activity of uveitis and prevent further decrease of vision.
