Abstract

Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease of incompletely understood pathogenesis. Over 250 cases have been reported in the literature till now, yet the diagnostic process can still be confusing, as the symptoms may occur randomly and vary. Here we report a case of a 52-year-old male with a very atypical clinical manifestation of tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome. Typically, the onset of the syndrome is marked with anterior uveitis concomitant withtubulointerstitial nephritis. In the reported case, though, retinitis persisted for a relatively long time and only after a few years thepatient developed symptoms of anterior uveitis.
