: To report bilateral anterior uveitis and corneal punctate epitheliopathy in children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) secondary to coronavirus disease (COVID-19).: Five patients who were positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies and diagnosed with MIS-C were evaluated. Ophthalmologic examinations were performed in order to reveal ocular findings in MIS-C disease.: Slit lamp examinations showed bilateral non-granulomatous acute anterior uveitis in all patients and severe corneal punctuate epitheliopathy in three of the patients. These ocular findings mostly disappeared with treatment in about one week.: Bilateral non-granulomatous acute anterior uveitis and dry eye can be detected in patients diagnosed with MIS-C secondary to COVID-19. Even if generally, COVID-19 is not a life threatening disease in children by itself, inflammatory ocular manifestations can be detected in MIS-C secondary to COVID-19.
报告 5 例儿童多系统炎症综合征(MIS-C)继发于冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的双侧前葡萄膜炎和角膜点状上皮病:对 5 例 SARS-CoV-2 抗体阳性并诊断为 MIS-C 的患者进行评估。为了揭示 MIS-C 疾病的眼部表现,进行了眼科检查:裂隙灯检查显示所有患者均有双侧非肉芽肿性急性前葡萄膜炎,3 例患者有严重的角膜点状上皮病。这些眼部表现在用大约一周的时间治疗后大多消失:在诊断为 COVID-19 继发的 MIS-C 的患者中可以检测到双侧非肉芽肿性急性前葡萄膜炎和干眼症。即使 COVID-19 本身在儿童中不是一种危及生命的疾病,但在 COVID-19 继发的 MIS-C 中也可以检测到炎症性眼部表现。
