title: Primary tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome.
abstract: Primary acute tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis is an uncommon syndrome involving the kidney and eye. Although rare, to date 28 cases having been reported, it is important to recognise this entity to facilitate appropriate investigation and treatment. We report an unusual case of this syndrome in which the patient suffered a relapse of her nephritis concurrently with the onset of the first episode of uveitis. Both responded to treatment, although the uveitis subsequently recurred.
