Abstract
Purpose:
To report a case of streptococcal infection of the upper respiratory tract in which bilateral anterior uveitis was the only complication.
Method:
Serologic documentation of post-streptococcal immune disease. The duration of inflammation was consistent with other forms of poststreptococcal immune disease.
Results:
Bilateral anterior uveitis was treated with corticosteroids alone and resolved without ophthalmic complications.
Conclusion:
Bilateral anterior uveitis may be the only clinical manifestation of poststreptococcal syndrome.
