Pp. Molinari et al., ACUTE INTERSTITIAL NEPHRITIS AND UVEITIS SYNDROME (TINU SYNDROME) - ANEW PEDIATRIC CASE-REPORT, Rivista italiana di pediatria, 20(3), 1994, pp. 276-280
Clinical features and natural course of acute interstitial nephritis a
nd uveitis (TINU Syndrome) in a 9 years old boy are reported. TINU Syn
drome is uncommon but the real incidence is under estimated because of
non specific clinical picture. An immunological disorder causing the
syndrome is most likely, as some laboratory data demonstrate. No siste
mic or inftectious diseases were found in our case but medication expo
sure was considered likely.
