Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We present a case of a 21-year-old woman suffering from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who developed acute anterior uveitis shortly after completing chemotherapeutic course with HYPER-CVAD protocol (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and dexamethasone) alternating with methotrexate and high-dose cytosine-arabinoside (HIDAC), with poor adherence to recommended prophylactic treatment with saline eye drops. Complete resolution of her symptoms was achieved within a few days of treatment with topical steroids. To our knowledge this is the first report of acute anterior uveitis secondary to treatment with HIDAC. Differential diagnosis and a suggested mechanism are discussed. |
