  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 12-year-old girl presented with floaters, blurred vision, ocular pain and eye injection in the left eye. She had been receiving systemic thiamazole for hyperthyroidism. The left eye showed signs of iridocyclitis, vitreous opacity, retinal vasculitis and macular edema. Fluorescein angiography showed hyperpermeable retinal vessels. Thyroid function had normalized. She was seropositive for HTLV-1 and was diagnosed as HTLV-1 associated uveitis (HAU). Systemic and topical prednisolone resulted in improvement of visual acuity from the initial 0.2 to 1.2. This case illustrates that anti-HTLV-1 antibody may be causatively related to hyperthyroidism and uveitis in children.
