    Scleritis, an eye inflammation, was effectively treated with colchicine in a patient with high uric acid levels (hyperuricemia). This case highlights the link between hyperuricemia and scleritis, suggesting colchicine as a potential treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Rheumatology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Scleritis is a potentially blinding inflammation of the sclera.
    • Hyperuricemia, characterized by elevated serum uric acid, is a known risk factor for gout.
    • The association between hyperuricemia and scleritis is not well-established.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with scleritis.
    • The patient was found to have hyperuricemia.
    • The scleritis was successfully managed with colchicine therapy.

    Findings:

    • Colchicine demonstrated efficacy in treating scleritis associated with hyperuricemia.
    • This case suggests a potential link between elevated uric acid levels and the development of scleritis.

    Implications:

    • Colchicine may be a viable therapeutic option for scleritis in patients with hyperuricemia.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the pathophysiological relationship between hyperuricemia and scleritis.
    • This finding could influence clinical management strategies for patients with both conditions.
