Β2 Microglobulin

We present here a case of a 9-year-old boy with bilateral anterior uveitis and an extremely elevated urinary β2-microglobulin level (25,400 μg/l). The normal range for urinary excretion of β2-microglobulin is 0-300 μg/l. In patients with tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome (TINU), elevations typically range from 1,260 to 5,160 μg/l. Renal biopsy was pursued, and significant granulomatous interstitial nephritis consistent with sarcoidosis was identified. Systemic immune modulation was required for control of ocular inflammation. This case highlights the importance of urinary β2-microglobulin testing in the pediatric patient uveitis population, and additionally the need to pursue kidney biopsy in the presence of extreme elevations in urinary β2-microglobulin to differentiate between TINU and sarcoidosis.

Purpose: We report a case with iris heterochromia misdiagnosed as Fuchs’ uveitis which finally turned out to be a unilateral zoster uveitis in an HIV-positive patient. Case Report: A 45-year old patient was seen for a recurrent right anterior uveitis treated with prednisolone 1% drops BID. The iris of the right eye was hypochromic and atrophic and several small granulomatous keratic precipitates (KPs) were present. After discontinuation of corticosteroid drops, severe uveitis developed with mutton-fat KPs, and laser flare photometry (LFP) increased from 20 to 50.3 ph/ms. He had presented with right zoster ophthalmicus two years earlier and HIV-serology revealed to be positive. Conclusion: Iris heterochromia is not a good disease-defining criterion for Fuch’s uveitis even when typical KPs are present and can lead to misdiagnosis. More reliable criteria including stellate KPs, low LFP values, absence of synechiae, vitreitis, and disc hyperfluorescence, all absent in this case, should be sought to confirm or exclude the diagnosis.
