Immune keratitis: An unusual primary presentation of neuro-Behçet's disease.
Аннотация
A 19-year-old Nepalese male presented with complaints of bilateral ocular discomfort, photophobia, watering, and redness for 1 week. Visual acuity was 6/12 and 6/60 in the right and left eye, respectively. On biomicroscopic examination, presence of peripheral stromal infiltrates with conjunctival follicles was noted; infiltrates progressed to involve central cornea with further decrease in vision over next few days. After ruling out infectious keratitis, detailed systemic examination and laboratory investigations were diagnostic of neuro-Behçet's disease. Patient responded to systemic steroidal and immunosuppressive therapy characterized by corneal healing and visual acuity improvement to 6/6 and 6/9. Although rare, but neuro-Behçet's disease can primarily present as bilateral immune keratitis and every case of bilateral keratitis needs early systemic evaluation after ruling out infective etiologies.
