▶Of interest across both dermatology and ophthalmo-▶ logy disciplines.
CASE PRESENTATIONWe 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 infl ammation in the left eye consistent with an anterior uveitis. Inferior stromal haze and fi ne keratic precipitates were noted in the left cornea ( fi gure 1 ). Intraocular pressures were normal, with no vitritis and healthy looking discs, maculae and peripheral retina. Systemic examination revealed a papular rash over the face ( fi gure 2 ) consistent with previously diagnosed Hydroa vaccineforme (HV). With intensive topical steroids the infl ammation gradually resolved.
