Abstract Purpose:To report a case of ocular sarcoidosis who showed exacerbation of pulmonary lesions after treatment with systemic adalimumab

Case:A 27-year-old male was referred to us for blurring in the right eye since 2 days before.

Findings and Clinical Course:Corrected visual acuity was 0.9 right and 1.0 left. The right eye showed extensive retinal vasculitis and vitreous opacity. The left eye showed retinal vasculitis only. Systemic studies and bronchial biopsy led to the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. He was treated by prednisolone and adalimumab. Both eyes received extensive photocoagulation. Respiratory difficulties developed following withdrawal of prednisolone 6 months later. Pulmonary lesions showed exacerbation by diagmostic imaging, suggesting paradoxical reaction to adalimumab. Resumption of prednisolone was followed by improved pulmonary findings.

Conclusion:This case illustrates that systemic adalimumab may be effective for pulmonary sarcoidosis but it may cause paradoxical reaction that may be suppressed by systemic corticosteroid.
