Popis: TINU is a rare disease of unknown etiology that associates acute tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis in a context of systemic symptoms (asthenia, weight loss, fever) and inflammatory biological signs. We report a new case in a 10-year-old girl with unilateral uveopapillitis and renal insufficiency caused by interstitial nephritis (creatininemia: 225 micro mol/l). Complete recovery was obtained with high-dose systemic corticotherapy, with the patient remaining free of disease 2.5 years after the end of treatment. The disappearance of renal lesions was histologically verified.
