Immunomodulatory Therapy for Children With Steroid-Resistant or Steroid- Dependent Uveitis
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The purpose of this presentation is to provide to you the results of an assignment given to me by Dr. Holland, namely, to review the matter of immunomodulatory therapy in children, in particular in children with uveitis. In an effort to discharge this responsibility given to me, I reviewed the literature relevant to pediatric immunomodulatory therapy for non-malignant, non-ocular disease in an effort to determine, to the extent possible, information regarding the safety of such therapy for children with non-malignant disease. Additionally, I have reviewed the literature on immunomodulatory therapy in children with ocular inflammatory disease. The central question I have tried to address is that of, Êwhat is the evidence supporting the efficacy and safety for immunomodulatory therapy for steroid-resistant or steroiddependent ocular inflammatory disease?ˆ
