title: A case of elevated intraocular pressure associated with systemic steroid therapy.
abstract: Although it is well known that topically administered steroids can increase intraocular pressure systemically administered steroids are much less frequently implicated in episodes of ocular hypertension. In the case reported, a marked increase in intraocular pressure was apparently caused by seroids used in treating poison ivy dermatitis. Pressures returned to normal shortly after the drug was withdrawn.
