Scleritis and associated systemic diseases: contribution of systemic examination, follow-up, and additional investigations
Systemic examination contributed to the identification of an associated disease in one-fifth of patients. Scleritis may be the first clinical manifestation of an underlying systemic disease, supporting the need for systematic and prolonged follow-up. These findings also underline the diagnostic value of specific ANCA testing, whereas repeating laboratory investigations after an initial negative assessment appears of limited utility.
