  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 73-year-old female presented with hyperemia in her right eye since one week before. Her right eye showedsigns of iritis and snowball vitreous opacity. Both eyes showed peripheral anterior synechia simulating granulomatousuveitis. Elevated serum levels of lisozyme and gamma-globulin were suggestive of sarcoidosis. Final diagnosis wasobtained after Epstein-Barr virus DNA was detected in the aqueous processed by polymerase chain reaction. Topicalcorticosteroid induced slight improvement in ocular findings. Systemic acyclovir was futile. This case illustrates thatEpstein-Barr virus infection may be involved in chronic granulomatous uveitis resistant to conventional therapeuticmodalities.
