Abstract

Ocular involvement in pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is relatively rare. The conjunctiva and eyelids are considered the most common affected sites in ocular pemphigus. Scleritis is rarely reported as a manifestation of PV. We present a case report of anterior scleritis as a manifestation of PV and its response to rituximab therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
