AB  - A  45-year-old  woman  presents  with  1  day  of  increasing  eye  pain,  eye  redness,  and  difficulty  in  seeing.  On  examination  there  was  scleral  injection  and  exquisite  globe  tenderness  (Figure  17-1).  Her  review  of  systems  is  positive  for  morning  stiffness  and  swelling  in  both  of  her  hands.  The  patient  was  urgently  referred  to  an  ophthalmologist  who  diagnosed  her  with  scleritis.  Her  visual  acuity  was  reduced  minimally.  A  slit  lamp  exam  revealed  injected  sclera  with  a  bluish  hue  in  the  affected  eye  and  a  rare  anterior  chamber  cell.  The  posterior  segment  was  normal.
