| Popis: | A 28-year-old Chinese man presented with refractory ocular redness in the bilateral eyes. His symptoms co-existed with dysphasia and acute body weight loss. Excisional biopsy of the conjunctiva and hilar lymph nodes was performed and Lofgren's syndrome was confirmed. The patient was treated with systemic steroid and symptoms gradually subsided over the 2-year follow-up period. Ocular redness and dysphagia with acute body weight loss are atypical symptoms of Lofgren's syndrome. Careful survey and prompt treatment is necessary. |
