Abstract
We encountered a febrile child with constitutional symptoms in north India. The child was hospitalised, and a routine testing for febrile conditions was negative. A bedside ocular examination raised suspicion of granulomatous uveitis. This led us to seek a diagnostic test, which led us to confirm an infectious etiology.
