BRINGAS CALVO, R  e  IGLESIAS CORTINAS, D. Acute and bilateral uveitis secondary to moxifloxacin. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2004, vol.79, n.7, pp.357-359. ISSN 0365-6691.

Case report: We report a case of a 77-year-old woman with an anterior acute bilateral uveitis and pigmentary dispersion after treatment of a neumococic pneumonia with moxifloxacin. Her response to treatment was good but she presented as a result of treatment abundance of pigment over all the structures of the anterior segment. Discussion: Many drugs can produce uveitis. After Med-line revision, we can not find any previously reported case of anterior Uveitis associated with fourth generation quinolones.
