Eosinophilic tubulo-interstitial nephritis associated with iridocyclitis and thyreoiditis.
A patient is described with the tubulointerstitial nephritis with uveitis syndrome. The diagnosis can be difficult since it has to be differentiated from sarcoidosis, or infections like tuberculosis and toxoplasmosis. Our patient showed prompt recovery of fever, ocular symptoms and renal function after starting corticosteroids.
