We report the case of a 16-year-old girl admitted to hospital with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) secondary to COVID-19. Conjunctivitis-like symptoms prompted ocular examination, which demonstrated peripheral confluent corneal opacities and anterior uveitis. Uveitis laboratory investigations were negative, and with topical steroid treatment her signs and symptoms resolved completely. These features may be overlooked in the setting of MIS-C, where patients are systemically unwell and are typically examined at the bedside.
我们报告了一例 16 岁女孩因 COVID-19 引发儿童多系统炎症综合征(MIS-C)而住院的病例。结膜炎样症状促使进行眼科检查,显示周边融合性角膜混浊和前葡萄膜炎。葡萄膜炎实验室检查为阴性,经局部皮质类固醇治疗后,她的体征和症状完全消退。在 MIS-C 情况下,这些特征可能会被忽视,因为患者全身不适,通常在床边进行检查。
