PURPOSE: To report a case of streptococcal infection of the upper respiratory tract in which bilateral anterior uveitis was the only complication. METHOD: Serologic documentation of post-streptococcal immune disease. The duration of inflammation was consistent with other forms of poststreptococcal immune disease. RESULTS: Bilateral anterior uveitis was treated with corticosteroids alone and resolved without ophthalmic complications. CONCLUSION: Bilateral anterior uveitis may be the only clinical manifestation of poststreptococcal syndrome.
