Abstract:
PURPOSE:To report the results of tocilizumab (TCZ) treatment in patients with Behçet uveitis (BU) who had failed conventional, interferon alpha, and anti-Tumor necrosis factor-alpha therapy. METHODS:We reviewed the records of five patients with BU treated with monthly infusions of TCZ 8 mg/kg. Outcome measures were visual acuity, anterior chamber cells, laser flare meter (LFM) readings, vitreous haze, central macular thickness (CMT), and fluorescein angiography (FA) score. RESULTS:The clinical inactivity of BU and 20/50 or better vision were achieved in three female and two male patients treated with TCZ for 5-19 months. The mean LFM reading was reduced from 15.4 ± 2.7 to 5.0 ± 0.9 ph/ms; the mean CMT from 324.7 ± 36.6 µm to 280.2 ± 34.1 µm; and the mean FA score from 20.6 ± 5.4 to 9.3 ± 4.5 µm at the last visit. The only side effect was a slight elevation of the total cholesterol level in one patient. CONCLUSIONS:Tocilizumab may be a safe and effective therapeutic option for refractory BU.
