RESUMEN
The authors report the case of an 8-year-old girl of Caucasian origin who attended the Emergency Eye Clinic with a 3-week history of a red, light sensitive left eye during the month of April. Her Snellen visual acuities were 6/5 right and 6/9 left. Examination revealed perilimbal injection and anterior chamber inflammation in the left eye consistent with an anterior uveitis. Inferior stromal haze and fine keratic precipitates were noted in the left cornea. Intraocular pressures were normal, with no vitritis and healthy looking discs, maculae and peripheral retina. Systemic examination revealed a papular rash over the face consistent with previously diagnosed Hydroa vaccineforme. With intensive topical steroids the inflammation gradually resolved.
