Abstract
Two patients with ankylosing spondylitis had acute iridocyclitis that recurred with remarkable frequency. Both patients were treated with a combination of hydroxychloroquine sulfate and nonsteroid antiinflammatory drugs (ketoprofen and sodium diclofenac in the 1st patient; ketoprofen in the 2nd). The uninterrupted treatment lasted 13 mo. in the 1st case and 10 in the 2nd. In neither patient did any further attacks of iridocyclitis occur during this treatment.
