Background:
Post-streptococcal uveitis syndrome is a rare inflammatory sequela following streptococcus infection most commonly occurring in young patients. Patients most typically present with bilateral anterior nongranulomatous uveitis, but posterior involvement occurs frequently.
Case Presentation:
We report an immunosuppressed patient presenting with asymmetrically bilateral acute onset, panuveitis with diffuse multifocal retinitis resulting from post-streptococcal uveitis syndrome.
Conclusion:
Post-streptococcal uveitis syndrome can present as a panuveitis with multifocal retinitis. A high clinical suspicion is needed for this diagnosis especially in patients under the age of 30 years old with bilateral non-granulomatous uveitis.
