Abstract

Without appropriate treatment, Group A streptococcal infections can lead to post-streptococcal syndrome, including post-streptococcal uveitis. This should be kept in mind in young patients with acute bilateral non-granulomatous anterior uveitis, in order to avoid ocular and systemic complications. We report two cases of bilateral post-streptococcal anterior uveitis, in young men, of respectively 20 and 16 years old, that presented to Jules Gonin Eye Hospital.

Zusammenfassung

Ohne Behandlung könnte die Gruppe-A-Streptokokkeninfektion zum Poststreptokokkensyndrom führen, einschließlich der Poststreptokokken-Uveitis. Im Fall einer nicht granulomatösen akuten Uveitis anterior bei jungen Patienten sollte die Poststreptokokken-Uveitis evoziert werden, um okulare und systemische Komplikationen zu vermeiden. Wir berichten über 2 Fälle von bilateraler Poststreptokokken-Uveitis bei 2 jungen Patienten, mit 20 bzw. 16 Jahren, die sich notfallmäßig im Jules Gonin Eye Hospital vorstellten.
