Abstract:
The association of acute interstitial nephritis and uveitis is rare. In 1975, Dobrin reported a new syndrome in two children presenting acute interstitial nephritis, anterior uveitis and marrow-lymph node granulomas. We report one case of this association in the adult. A 35-year-old man was admitted to the hospital for acute renal failure, arthralgia and anterior uveitis. The infectious and the immunological investigations were negative. The ocular examination shows bilateral anterior uveitis. The renal biopsy revealed acute tubulo-interstitial nephritis. He was treated by prednisone (0.5 mg/Kg/day). His clinical course was favorable. Seven years later, the renal function is normal and we not observed a relapse of his uveitis.
