Spondyloarthritis: the eyes have it: uveitis in patients with spondyloarthritis

Nat Rev Rheumatol. 2012 Apr 3;8(5):249-50. doi: 10.1038/nrrheum.2012.43.

Abstract

Although systemic lupus erythematosus is the prototype multisystem disease, many other inflammatory diseases are also promiscuous, with symptoms manifesting in many organs. Now, new data emphasize the extra-articular involvement in spondyloarthritis, predominantly affecting the eye; however, the factors that account for the observed organ involvement remain unknown.
