Methods: One patient with uveitis, in whom viruses were detected by metagenomic testing of the aqueous humor for pathogenic microorganisms, was admitted and treated. The patient’s condition was discussed in combination with relevant literature. Results: After treatment with human immunoglobulin and intravenous corticosteroid pulse therapy, the symptoms of uveitis in the patient rapidly relieved, and the patient was discharged after the condition improved. After 2 months of follow-up, the condition was stable, and the visual acuity recovered well. Conclusion: Uveitis is a common blinding eye disease in ophthalmology, and viral infection is an important cause of it. For patients with uveitis caused by viral infection, early and definite diagnosis and personalized treatment should be carried out to improve the visual function of patients and the prognosis of the disease.展开更多
