title: [Diagnosis and treatment of scleritis associated to inflammatory systemic diseases].
abstract: Because of potential vision-threatening complications and the association to inflammatory systemic diseases with an increased mortality, scleritis patients need an adequate diagnostic work-up and early and aggressive anti-inflammatory systemic treatment. New therapeutic options (such as biologicals) help to achieve remission in otherwise refractory cases.
