摘要

A woman, aged 42 years, presented to the ophthalmologist complaining of right eye redness, tearing, photosensitivity, and blurred vision of a 1-month duration. Her past medical history was significant for a kidney transplant for which she was immunosuppressed with mycophenolate mofetil 750 mg twice a day and prednisone 10 mg daily. phthalmologic examination of the right eye revealed visual acuity of 20/60, intraocular pressure of 16 mmHg, scleral injection, and a significant inflammatory reaction in the anterior chamber.
