Abstract
- 6 Xia A, Dietrich-Ntoukas T, Pleyer U. Effect of anti-TNF treatment on Mooren's ulcer: a case series and review of the literature. The authors cited other reports of the use of TNF inhibitors[[8], [10]] and of rituximab[12] to treat refractory MU and suggested that such agents be considered prior to surgery in those patients who are incompletely responsive to more conventional therapies. Mooren's ulcer (MU)[[1], [3]] is an uncommon cause of corneal ulceration observed most often in Asia and Africa. [Extracted from the article]
