“…6 Calvert describes a case of unilateral neuroretinitis in a patient with AIDS that occurred during a parvovirus infection. 5 Our case did not have a uveitis typical of JCA and the absence of joint inflammation or persistent JCA make it unlikely that JCA was the cause.…”

“…Epithelial and dermal, neural, cartilagenous, smooth muscle, lacrimal, sweat, or sebaceous gland tissue may be present. [2][3][4] They are well circumscribed, white or pale yellow, and may be single or multiple, unilateral, or bilateral 5 or form a ring. 3 Occasionally, epibulbar choristomata are associated with superficial corneal involvement characterised by a vascularised pannus particularly in those containing lacrimal tissue.…”

“…8 Henkind et al reported two cousins born of sisters with unrelated husbands, who presented with bilateral corneal choristomata. 5 Histology demonstrated a thickened cornea covered by a keratinising stratified squamous epithelium containing hair tufts. Other abnormalities included absence of Bowman's layer and stromal invasion by a dense vascularised collagenous tissue.…”

“…One year after onset she had a weakly positive ANA of the nucleolar pattern. COMMENT Parvovirus infection has been associated with transient neurological disease including encephalitis, 3 aseptic meningitis, 4 neuroretinitis with disc oedema, 5 ciliary ganglionitis and disc hyperaemia, 6 and immune mediated inner ear disease. 7 There have been no previous reports of an isolated uveitis.…”

Uveitis associated with parvovirus infection EDITOR,-Parvovirus B 19 is a common infection in developed countries with a seroprevalence of 40-60% in young adults. 1 The commonest age of infection is 5-14 years. Clinical features of acute infection include erythema infectiosum (slapped cheek syndrome or Vth disease), arthralgia, and fever. It is usually a mild disease, but aplastic anaemia may develop in susceptible hosts and it may cause fetal loss if acquired during pregnancy. Acute infection can be accompanied by autoantibody formation including antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and rheumatoid factor (RF) 2 and therefore infection may share clinical and serological similarities with early rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile chronic arthritis. Uveitis in young girls usually occurs in association with early onset pauciarticular juvenile chronic arthritis which has a high frequency of ANA in the absence of RF. We report a case of uveitis in a young girl, associated with a transient ANA and RF, and serological evidence of acute parvovirus infection.

“…Since the original description by François and Neetens1 there have been a number of reports establishing the dominant inheritance and the variable expressivity of this benign condition 2-4. Only one family reported by Gillepsie and Covelli5 showed autosomal recessive inheritance with no apparent difference in phenotypic expression. According to the original description, the subtle, round, oval, or wreath-like lesions have sharp borders and vary in size and number.…”
