Recurrent anterior uveitis associated with streptococcal pharyngitis in a patient with a history of poststreptococcal syndrome

Abstract

Purpose: To provide additional evidence that anterior uveitis can be a manifestation of poststreptococcal syndrome.

Method: A case report providing follow-up information on a previously described patient.

Results: An adolescent girl in whom anterior uveitis was the only manifestation of poststreptococcal syndrome subsequently developed recurrent anterior uveitis after another episode of streptococcal pharyngitis.

Conclusion: Anterior uveitis can recur in a manner similar to other manifestations of poststreptococcal syndrome after reinfection with group A streptococci.
