ABSTRACT
Purpose: To analyze clinical profile of the patients with scleritis in a tertiary care eye hospital in Bangladesh.
Method: Retrospective analysis of 111 eyes of 79 patients of scleritis between January 2012 and May 2018.
Result: The study observed a relative younger mean age and equal gender distribution. Diffuse anterior scleritis (43%) was the most common type of scleritis. Rheumatoid arthritis (10%) was the most common systemic disease followed by granulomatosis with polyangiitis (5%) and tuberculosis (2.5%). Fifty-eight patients (73.4%) required immunosuppressive agents.
Conclusion: The current study highlighted a distinct pattern and profile of scleritis patients in Bangladesh.
