摘要：

Introduction. - The oncovirus HTLV-1 is aetiologically associated with uveitis and autoimmune thyroiditis in endemic areas. The association of uveitis with autoimmune thyroiditis in HTLV-1 carriers is less common moreover in non-endemic area. Exegese. - We report two original cases of simultaneous uveitis and autoimmune thyroiditis in HTLV-1 carriers, without other disease due to HTLV-1. The visual outcome was favorable in both cases. Conclusion. - A significant correlation exists between hyperthyroidism, uveitis and HTLV-1, but still needs to be confirmed. The autoimmune or immune mediated mecanism of HTLV-1 may be involved in the uveitis and the thyroidits. (c) 2005 Elsevier SAS. Tous droits reserves.
