Abstract
Recognition of oral and ocular problems is important in the management of arthritis. Although the focus of attention is usually on joint problems, patients with these chronic disorders require a comprehensive approach to their total medical care. Physicians need to watch for physical signs of significant inflammation and should alert their patients to watch for significant symptoms.
