Anterior uveitis in Kawasaki's disease.
Kawasaki's disease (mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome) is an acute febrile illness primarily affecting children. Slit-lamp examinations of six children with kawasaki's disease, ranging in age from 22 months to 16 years, showed that five had anterior uveitis during the acute phase of the illness. Two of the children were treated with corticosteroids and cycloplegic drugs and three received no treatment. In all five, the anterior uveitis resolved completely within a few weeks.
