We report the case of a 16-year-old girl admitted to hospital with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) secondary to COVID-19.

description We report the case of a 16-year-old girl admitted to hospital with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) secondary to COVID-19. Conjunctivitis-like symptoms prompted ocular examination, which demonstrated peripheral confluent corneal opacities and anterior uveitis. Uveitis laboratory investigations were negative, and with topical steroid treatment her signs and symptoms resolved completely. These features may be overlooked in the setting of MIS-C, where patients are systemically unwell and are typically examined at the bedside.
