title: Combined infliximab and rituximab in necrotising scleritis.
abstract: We report a patient with necrotising scleritis in whom infliximab was used for short-term steroid-sparing while rituximab took effect. This enabled disease control without requiring an extended period of high-dose corticosteroid administration or the concurrent use of cyclophosphamide.
