Clinical features and natural course of acute interstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU Syndrome) in a 9 years old boy are reported. The patient's ocular symptoms began seven month after the renal disease was diagnosed. Intermediate uveitis was present bilaterally with vitreous infiltration. Optic disc drusen were documented by echography. An immunological disorder causing the syndrome is most likely, as some laboratory data demonstrate. No systemic or infectious diseases were found in our case but an etiology to drugs considered likely.
