PURPOSE: To report presumed Fuchs heterochromic uveitis (FHU) associated with Rubella virus (RV)-specific intraocular antibody production in a child who was not vaccinated against rubella.
DESIGN: Observational case report.
METHODS: We examined a 13-year-old boy with chronic anterior uveitis complicated by mature cataract. Two aqueous humor (AH) samples taken with an interval of four weeks were analyzed for intraocular antibody production against RV by calculation of the Goldmann-Witmer coefficient.
RESULTS: The patient showed all the clinical signs for FHU: iris atrophy, stellate keratic precipitates, and cataract. Analysis of the AH demonstrated intraocular antibody production against RV in two sequential samples.
CONCLUSIONS: The data show that RV-associated uveitis can already present during childhood. Moreover, this finding suggests that nonvaccinated children may be at risk to develop uveitis after RV infection.
