摘要：

PURPOSE: To report that uveitis may be a manifestation of poststreptococcal syndrome. METHODS: Case report. Documented attacks of bilateral uveitis were clearly associated with streptococcal infection, RESULTS: Group A streptococcal infection was evident in all bilateral uveitis attacks, which were treated With local or systemic corticosteroids and penicillin. The frequency and severity of the attacks were reduced by penicillin prophylaxis and tonsillectomy. CONCLUSIONS: Uveitis should be included as a possible manifestation of poststreptococcal syndrome. If coexisting streptococcal infection is demonstrated, penicillin prophylaxis should be considered. (Am J Ophthalmol 1998;126: 317-318. (C) 1998 by Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.).
