Co-occurrence of bilateral nodular anterior scleritis and large-vessel arteritis in a patient with TINU syndrome.

We present a case of tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) with nodular anterior scleritis and large-vessel arteritis. A 67-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital with high fever, thoracic pain, and weakness. Bilateral anterior uveitis was seen at that time. Laboratory examination showed acute renal failure. A renal biopsy was performed and showed pathognomonic signs of tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN). Six months later, she developed ocular inflammation suggestive of nodular scleritis. One year after hospital admission, she presented with large-vessel arteritis. We describe a case of TINU with co-occurrence of scleritis and large-vessel arteritis.
