ABSTRACT
Four children with chronic arthritis (3 juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and 1 juvenile ankylosing spondylitis) and poorly controlled chronic uveitis, were given sulphasalazine (SASP) therapy for a mean period of 3.3 years. Three patients showed an excellent response, as evidenced by a reduction of inflammatory cells in the anterior chamber of the eyes and improvement of visual acuity. The response occurred after a mean of 7.7 weeks. These data suggested SASP therapy may have a role in the treatment of chronic anterior uveitis in children with chronic arthritis.
