Distinguishing between late-onset TINU syndrome and drug-induced AIN remains difficult given that patients with TINU syndrome may develop uveitis long after the onset of AIN. Therefore, ophthalmic examination is required not only upon diagnosis but also continuously or when eye symptoms, and relapse of urinary findings are observed.

History Of

A very little subset of patients diagnosed with interstitial nephritis have the tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU syndrome). A considerable number of cases have been documented in the pediatric nephrology and ophthalmology literature. We report a 12-year-old girl who presented with a history of allergic/drug-induced tubulointerstitial nephritis and diagnosed months later to have uveitis after stopping steroids. This considered a very rare combination and the diagnosis of tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome was established. She was treated successfully with topical steroid and topical cycloplegic agent for about 7 weeks. About 250 cases have been reported worldwide, and this is the first reported case in Jordan.
