This article discusses a rare condition called Bilateral Acute Iris Transillumination (BAIT) syndrome, which is characterized by depigmentation of the iris, photophobia, conjunctival hyperemia, and pain. The majority of patients with BAIT report a previous respiratory illness treated with systemic antibiotics, particularly moxifloxacin. This case report describes a middle-aged woman who developed BAIT after a COVID-19 infection and oral moxifloxacin intake. The exact cause of BAIT is unclear, but it has been associated with viral illnesses, antibiotic use, and autoimmune hypersensitivity. Treatment typically involves corticosteroids and cycloplegic agents, and patients should be monitored for increased intraocular pressure. [Extracted from the article] |
