SANCHEZ-MONROY, Jorge; GARCIA-NAVARRO, Damian  y  MUNUERA RUFAS, Inés. Rituximab: effective alternative for peripheral ulcerative kerotopathy. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2022, vol.35, n.2  Epub 01-Jun-2022. ISSN 1561-3070.

The development of biological drugs has allowed optimal control of the ophthalmologic manifestations of autoimmune diseases, the knowledge of new pathogenic pathways and new therapeutic targets, which is leading to a revolution in the medical treatment in numerous entities and where ophthalmology is no exception. We present the clinical case of a patient with poorly controlled rheumatoid arthritis and multisystemic condition. The patient presented a poorly controlled peripheral ulcerative keratopathy that responded to a different biological treatment than the one traditionally used: rituximab.

Palabras clave : peripheral ulcerative keratopathy; Cornea; Rheumatoid arthritis; Rituximab; antiCD20.
