ABSTRACT
Background
Post-streptococcal uveitis syndrome is a rare inflammatory sequela following streptococcus infection most commonly occurring in young patients. Patients most typically present with bilateral anterior nongranulomatous uveitis, but posterior involvement occurs frequently.
Case Presentation
We report an immunosuppressed patient presenting with asymmetrically bilateral acute onset, panuveitis with diffuse multifocal retinitis resulting from post-streptococcal uveitis syndrome.
Conclusion
Post-streptococcal uveitis syndrome can present as a panuveitis with multifocal retinitis. A high clinical suspicion is needed for this diagnosis especially in patients under the age of 30 years old with bilateral non-granulomatous uveitis.
