Abstract
PURPOSE/METHODS: A 14-year-old girl with a history of contact with pup pies and chronic bilateral panuveitis was examined. The fundus of the right eye showed an inferotemporal pars plana exudate. The fundus of t he left eye showed an elevated posterior mass. RESULTS/CONCLUSION: Tox ocara antibodies in the aqueous humor detected by enzyme linked immuno sorbent assay had a Goldmann Witmer coefficient of 8.63 in the right e ye and 8.94 in the left eye. Toxocariasis may be a cause of bilateral panuveitis.
