To report the use of tofacitinib in ten patients with scleritis where the traditional immunomodulation was not successful or could not be used.
A retrospective chart review.
Tofacitinib was successful in the treatment of scleritis in patients either recalcitrant to or intolerant to conventional therapy in 9 out of 10 cases reported here. Two patients had developed reactivation of herpetic infection after 1 month of starting tofacitinib. The duration from diagnosis of scleritis to the institution of tofacitinib therapy varied from 1 month to 60 months. Duration of follow-up varies from 2 months to 11 months.
Tofacitinib can be used as an important future option for managing recurrent and recalcitrant cases of scleritis.
