[h=1]Oseltamivir (Tamiflu)-induced Bilateral Ciliochoroidal Effusion and Angle Closure Glaucoma: What Type of Idiosyncratic Reaction?[/h] Yazdani S[SUP]1,[/SUP][SUP]2[/SUP], Esfandiari H[SUP]2[/SUP], Safi S[SUP]2[/SUP], Fatemi A[SUP]3[/SUP].

[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]PURPOSE:[/h] To report a case of bilateral acute angle closure glaucoma after one dose of oseltamivir 75 mg.
[h=4]CASE REPORT:[/h] A 37-year-old man with a history of influenza developed high intraocular pressure and uniformly shallow anterior chamber in both eyes, 5 hours after the first dose of oseltamivir 75 mg. The condition was managed successfully with topical cycloplegic and systemic/topical antiglaucoma medications.
[h=4]CONCLUSION:[/h] Since a presumed idiosyncratic reaction developed right after the first dose of the medication, it challenges the common concept of adaptive immune system involvement in this type of reaction in medication-related ciliochoroidal effusion.
