title: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody in uveitis and scleritis.
abstract: We report a case where the detection of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) at the time of diagnosis of a case of sclero-uveitis predicted the later development of systemic features and prompted an early and definitive diagnosis of systemic vasculitis.
