Abstract:

Behcet′s disease (BD) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease. When BD has been involved in the eye, BD could cause serious complications. Behcet uveitis (BU) is characterized by recurrent episodes and regression of non-granulomatous inflammation, which has poor prognosis and a high rate of blindness. The traditional treatment for BU is to use hormone combined immunosuppressant. However, systemic adverse reactions and potential infections could occur for severe and long-term treatment patients, resulting in irreversible vision loss. In recent years, it has been demonstrated that the use of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors could be helpful to significantly control the recurrence rate and complications of BU. The research status of TNF-ɑ inhibitors in the treatment of BU is reviewed, which could provide a new strategy for refractory BU.

Key words: Behcet′s disease uveitis, Tumor necrosis factor ɑinhibitors, Treatment, Progress
