Ocular manifestations in a child with systemic brucellosis

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease with widespread prevalence. It presents with in various range and often with the presence of nonspecifi c clinical signs and symptoms. Brucellosis also may cause diff erent manifestations in eyes such as uveitis, keratitis, conjunctivitis and neuro-ophthalmic defects. Ocular brucellosis is rare among children. Herein, we present a 7-year-old girl with systemic and ocular brucellosis. After treatment with systemic steroid and antibiotics, her signs and symptoms disappeared. Since early treatment is important in preventing permanent visual loss and the other complications of ocular brucellosis, examination of the eyes in brucellosis patients must always be noticed by clinicians working in this fi eld.
