A corneal inflammatory pathology could be a local process or could be an ocular manifestation of a multisystemic disease. For that reason, a correct diagnosis and an appropriate check-up should always be done. In rheumatoid arthritis, when ulcerative keratitis occurs, ocular morbidity is high, and more importantly, without appropriate systemic treatment, more than half of these patients die within a few years of onset of their disease.
