| Popis: | A very little subset of patients diagnosed with interstitial nephritis have the tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU syndrome). A considerable number of cases have been documented in the pediatric nephrology and ophthalmology literature. We report a 12-year-old girl who presented with a history of allergic/drug-induced tubulointerstitial nephritis and diagnosed months later to have uveitis after stopping steroids. This considered a very rare combination and the diagnosis of tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome was established. She was treated successfully with topical steroid and topical cycloplegic agent for about 7 weeks. About 250 cases have been reported worldwide, and this is the first reported case in Jordan. |
