title: Iritis in children with varicella.
abstract: A prospective study that included 82 consecutive children seen over 2 years by five pediatricians was undertaken to determine the incidence of iritis in children with chickenpox. Twenty-one (25%) children without pox on their lids were found to have iritis. Follow-up of children with objective evidence of iritis revealed no long-term sequelae.
