Abstract
Autoimmunity against collapsin response-mediator protein-5 (anti-CRMP-5) has been associated with ocular inflammation in paraneoplastic syndrome. We present a 59-year-old Caucasian man with optic neuritis and vitreous cells in both eyes (OU), at different stages. Despite the fact that the patient did not have any systemic disease, we suspected a paraneoplastic syndrome and requested CRMP-5-IgG and a mediastinoscopy. After performing the tests, a small cell lung carcinoma was diagnosed. Autoantibody CRMP-5-IgG positivity and optic neuritis combined with vitreous inflammation was defined as a paraneoplastic entity, avoiding vitreous biopsy and allowing us to suspect malignancy before systemic symptoms appeared.

Abstract
Management of systemic autoimmune diseases is challenging for physicians in their clinical practice. Although not common, they affect thousands of patients in Spain. The family doctor faces patients with symptoms and non-specific cutaneous, mucous, joint, vascular signs or abnormal laboratory findings at the start of the disease process and has to determine when to refer patients to the specialist. To aid in disease detection and better referral, the Spanish Society of Rheumatology and the Spanish Society of Family Medicine has created a group of experts who selected 26 symptoms, key signs and abnormal laboratory findings which were organized by organ and apparatus. Family doctors and rheumatologists with an interest in autoimmune systemic diseases were selected and formed mixed groups of two that then elaborated algorithms for diagnostic guidelines and referral. The algorithms were then reviewed, homogenized and adapted to the algorithm format and application for cell phone (apps) download. The result is the current Referral document of systemic autoimmune diseases for the family doctor in paper format and app (download). It contains easy-to-use algorithms using data from anamnesis, physical examination and laboratory results usually available to primary care, that help diagnose and refer patients to rheumatology or other specialties if needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this paper is to assess the clinical response to golimumab (GLM) in patients with non-infectious uveitis from a single centre that had previously been treated with other anti-TNF-α drugs. METHODS A retrospective chart review was carried out of patients with immune-mediated uveitis refractory to standard synthetic immunosuppressive drugs who were treated with GLM at Hospital Universitario Marqués de Valdecilla, Santander (Spain). Patients were included in this study if they had previously been treated with other anti-TNF-α drugs. A literature review of patients with immune-mediated uveitis undergoing GLM therapy was conducted. RESULTS Three patients (2 men and 1 woman) were included in this study. Two of them were refractory to other anti-TNF-α drugs. The median age of patients was 26 years (range 20-42). Uveitis was bilateral in two patients. The underlying diseases were uveitis associated with HLA-B27 and psoriasis in one case and sarcoidosis in the other two cases. Improvement of the main ocular parameters following GLM therapy was achieved in all cases. After a median follow-up of 3 (range 1-9) months using GLM therapy, none of the patients had experienced new relapses of uveitis. None of them had side effects during treatment with this drug. A literature review disclosed that our observations were in keeping with other reports that showed good response to GLM in 13 of 16 patients with immune-mediated uveitis refractory to other biologic agents. CONCLUSIONS Although the follow-up was too short in our series, GLM could be an effective and safe therapy for the management of patients with uveitis previously treated with other anti-TNF-α drugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the clinical response to Tocilizumab (TCZ) in three patients with non-infectious uveitis refractory to anti-TNF-α drugs. METHODS Assessment of TCZ-treated patients with immune-mediated uveitis from two Spanish medical referral centers. Uveitis had been refractory to previous standard synthetic immunosuppressive drugs and at least one TNF-α inhibitor. A literature review of patients with immune-mediated uveitis treated with TCZ therapy was also conducted. RESULTS 3 women (5 eyes) with uveitis refractory to conventional immunosuppressive therapy and at least one anti-TNF-α drug were treated with TCZ. The mean age of the patients was 48.6±16.1 (range 37-67) years. In two cases uveitis was bilateral and in the other unilateral. The underlying diseases were rheumatoid arthritis in one case and Behçet's disease in the other two cases. After a mean follow-up of 7.3±5.7 (range 1-12) months using TCZ therapy, all patients experienced ocular improvement. Also, in 3 eyes inactive intraocular inflammation was achieved. None of the patients had side effects during the period of treatment with this drug. A literature review disclosed that our observations are in keeping with other reports that showed good response to TCZ in 11 of 12 patients with immune-mediated uveitis refractory to other biologic agents. CONCLUSIONS TCZ appears to be an effective and safe therapy for the management of patients with uveitis refractory to other biologic drugs.
