“…The diagnostic considerations for systemic disease associated with recurrent uveitis are protean, including infections (i.e., Lyme disease, tuberculosis, syphilis, herpesviruses and toxoplasmosis), autoimmune diseases (i.e., ankylosing spondylitis, sarcoidosis, inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosus and vasculitis) and malignancies 5 6. Clinically, our patient described prior sinusitis, nasal ulcers and epistaxis, which could support a diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA, formerly Wegener’s granulomatosis).…”

“…Uveitis is idiopathic in up to 50% of patients,5 or may be associated with various infections, autoimmune disorders, malignancies or medications 6. To our knowledge, idiopathic RPF has been reported only once in association with isolated uveitis in the absence of underlying systemic disease 7.…”

“…Ocular tissues involvement in PSS has been rarely reported in literature in the form of poststreptococcal uveitis secondary to group A streptococcal infection [1-5] and keratouveitis after a pharyngitis caused by group C streptococci (GCS) [6]; but, to date, conjunctival involvement has not been reported.…”

BackgroundPoststreptococcal syndrome (PSS) can be a consequence of nonpurulent primary infection with group A streptococci (GAS). Postreptococcal uveitis is a well recognized entity with quite a few descriptions in the literature, but so far no conjunctival involvement has been reported.The aim of the study is to present a rare case of postreptococcal conjunctival lesions mimicking a lymphoma.Case presentation19-years-old Caucasian female presented with pink, nodular infiltrates in the right conjunctiva that occurred a few months after upper respiratory tract infection and tonsillectomy. Histopathological examination of collected lesion samples revealed inflammatory reaction with lymphocytes proliferation and failed to rule out a myeloma. Complementary flow-cytometry did not show monoclonal proliferation of lymphocytes B. During follow-up we observed the complete regression of conjunctival lesions after the benzyl penicillin treatment prescribed by ENT specialist due to elevated plasma ASO levels. Therefore, we suppose that those lesions must have represented a part of poststreptococcal syndrome.ConclusionsTo conclude, this is, to the best of our knowledge, the first report of conjunctival involvement in the course of PSS related to group A streptococci.

IntroductionVery few cases of scar sarcoidosis affecting the eyes and bone together have been reported in the last few years.Case presentationWe report a case of a 49-year-old Spanish man with recurrent bilateral granulomatous uveitis and a fistulous nodular lesion in the left pre-tibial region (scar granuloma) on the site of an 8-year-old scar. He presented with bilateral hilar adenopathies and elevation of inflammatory markers and angiotensin-converting enzyme. A histologically confirmed sarcoid of the tibia with a radiologic appearance unusual for long tubular bone involvement was observed. He also had bilateral ophthalmologic involvement.ConclusionsSarcoidosis is a disease of unknown cause histologically characterized by non-caseating granulomas that can involve any organ or tissue. Osseous sarcoidosis is a relatively rare presentation. However, on the basis of cases reported in the literature, sarcoid lesions on bones are generally asymptomatic. Biologic agents are considered an alternative therapy for sarcoidosis resistant to conventional treatment.
