 AB    A 73-year-old female being treated for Basedow's disease developed misty
       vision and hyperemia of the right eye. A local ophthalmologist diagnosed
       uveitis, and referred her to our department for more detailed
       examinations. As a result of the detailed examination, neither
       sarcoidosis, Behcet's disease nor any other condition suggesting
       autoimmune disease was observed. On the other hand, she was positive for
       anti-HTLV-I antibody by the EIA and Western blot method, which implied
       HTLV-I associated uveitis (HAU). Recently, the involvement of HTLV-I
       related genes in the onset of Basedow's disease has been reported and
       there is also a report that the positivity of anti-HTLV-I antibody was
       high in elderly patients with Basedow's diseases, therefore, the
       possibility of involvement of HTLV-I infection was considered in the
       etiology of Basedow's disease in the present case.
