A child with anterior uveitis as the sole manifestation of group A
streptococcal infection is described. There was a history of a ‘viral’
upper respiratory tract infection 2 weeks before the onset of uveitis. A
post-streptococcal phenomenon was diagnosed on the basis of serial ASO
titre (ASOT) monitoring. There are few reports of patients with
post-streptococcal uveitis. ASOT monitoring should be included in the
work-up of uveitis of undetermined aetiology
