title: Anterior uveitis associated with high-dose cytosine arabinoside.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of anterior uveitis associated with high-dose cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) treatment.
  
  
  METHODS
  Observational case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 14-year-old girl was seen for pain, redness, and photophobia shortly after finishing a cycle of high-dose Ara-C.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Portable slit-lamp examination revealed bilateral diffuse fine keratic precipitates, indicative of a nongranulomatous anterior uveitis. This was treated successfully with a course of topical prednisolone acetate 1%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Ophthalmologists who are asked to evaluate patients on high-dose Ara-C for a "red eye" should consider anterior uveitis as a potential diagnosis.
