The aim of this article was to report a well-documented case of anterior uveitis as the first manifestation of COVID-19. A 27-year-old male patient sought assistance at our emergency room complaining of bilateral painful conjuntival redness associated with photophobia for 3 weeks. These symptoms were followed by fever and chills, with a positive polymerase chain reaction for COVID-19. While his systemic symptoms improved, the ocular complaints remained. A complete panel for uveitis were performed, with negative results, except for COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 has several implications in our society. Previous reports described ocular manifestations of this condition. The ophthalmologists should be aware of the possibility of COVID-19 when facing a patient with red eye. |
