Abstract

Two young boys had a severe uveitis which was difficult to treat. They both developed psoriasis located in the pubic area almost 1 year and several years later respectively. One boy also developed arthritis of an intermittent character. Both boys were ANA and HLA-B27 negative.

Conclusion: in children, the possible association between uveitis and psoriasis with or without arthritis has to be kept in mind.
