Abstract : To determine the efficacy and safety of adalimumab in the treatment of ocular inflammatory disorders the records of five patients with sight threatening ocular inflammatory disorders resistant to other immunosuppressive agents treated with Adalimumab 20-40 mg every two weeks were analyzed. A total of 5 patients: two patients had Behcet’s disease; 1 had juvenile idiopathic arthritis associated uveitis, 1 had anterior uveitis secondary to ankylosing spondilitis, and 1 had Idiopathic nodular scleritis. Five patients were treated (eight eyes examined) with Adalimumab; 4 males and 1 female, ranging in ages 9 to 52 years (mean: 27-years-old). All patients except patient 4 and 5 showed marked improvement in signs of ocular inflammation within 4 weeks from onset of therapy. However, patients’ No. 4 and 5 showed complete improvement in signs of ocular inflammation within 6 and 12 weeks, respectively.
