Ocular inflammation occurs in many patients with systemic rheumatic disease. The best examples are rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, temporal arteritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Wegener's granulomatosis, polyarteritis nodosa, relapsing polychondritis, and Adamantiades-Behçet's disease. Ocular inflammation may precede the symptoms of the systemic disease and can be helpful in systemic diagnosis. After diagnosis, ocular inflammation can mark the severity of the systemic condition. Thus, prompt diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory conditions of the eye are warranted and may be sight- and life-saving.
许多患有全身性风湿性疾病的患者会出现眼部炎症。最典型的例子是类风湿性关节炎、青少年类风湿性关节炎、颞动脉炎、系统性红斑狼疮、韦格纳肉芽肿病、结节性多动脉炎、复发性多软骨炎以及白塞病。眼部炎症可能先于全身性疾病的症状出现，有助于全身性疾病的诊断。确诊后，眼部炎症可表明全身性疾病的严重程度。因此，对眼部炎症性疾病进行及时诊断和治疗是必要的，这可能会挽救视力和生命。
