Abstract:
PURPOSE:To determine the origin of scleritis, uveitis, and glaucoma in a boy with fever, sore throat, joint pains, and malaise. METHODS:The patient underwent extensive hematologic, serologic, rheumatologic, and radiologic examinations. RESULTS:The patient recovered after extensive medical therapy. He met the Jones criteria for the diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever and had an increased result for antistreptolysin O antibody titer. CONCLUSIONS:Antistreptococcal antibody testing is helpful in diagnosing rheumatic fever as a cause of scleritis, uveitis, and glaucoma.
