Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to present the case of a 35 years old healthy male suffering from acute, bilateral uveitis with periphlebitis which despite broad ophthalmic and internal diagnosis remained of unknown origin. Despite anti-inflammatory treatment with acyclovir, ciprofloxacin and Encorton remission of inflammation was not achieved. Due to the failure of steroid treatment the decision of immunosuppressive therapy with Rapamycine and Endoxan was made. New therapeutic regimen caused the remission of inflammation and preserved patient's useful visual acuity.
