Peripheral ulcerative keratitis
2021, Survey of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Other side effects of systemic steroids, e.g., hypertension, hyperglycemia, hirsutism, etc., must be watched for. The presence of PUK may herald an impending life-threatening vasculitis, and immunosuppressive agents are often required to induce disease remission in cases with underlying autoimmune disorders.75 These agents reduce disease mortality and ocular morbidity47,52,129 and are usually started along with high dose systemic steroid.
