Abstract
A syndrome of acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) and anterior uveitis is described in two children and the literature is reviewed. These dis orders appear to improve, in uncontrolled studies, with systemic and t opical ophthalmic corticosteroid treatment. Although the renal and ocu lar prognoses appear good, it is important to recognize that patients with AIN are at risk for uveitis and if present, consultation with an ophthalmologist is recommended.
