Authors present an 11-year old girl with non-specific clinical symptoms with increase of inflammatory indices and acute non-oliguric renal failure: creatinine clearance - 55 ml/min/1.73 m2. An anterior uveitis was observed after 7 weeks of illness. Diagnosis of tubulointerstitial nephritis with uveitis (TINU) was confirmed by interstitial infiltrate (lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils) and interstitial fibrosis in renal biopsy. Steroid therapy was given for 7 months. Uveitis without kidney involvement relapsed 1 month after discontinuation of steroid therapy. The full recovery of uveitis was achieved after the treatment with topical steroids. After 3 years, the illness remains still in remission.

The renal tubule and collecting duct express a large number of proteins, all having putative immunoreactive motives. Therefore, all can be the target of pathogenic autoantibodies. However, autoimmune tubulopathies seem to be rare and we hypothesize that they are underdiagnosed.

Protothecosis is an infectious disease caused by unicellular algae of the genus Prototheca, which are mainly known for causing mastitis in farm animals. However, there are reports of protothecosis in humans and other animals, such as dogs and cats, which develop cutaneous lesions or systemic lesions. Dogs with the systemic form generally develop bloody diarrhoea and blindness and neurological signs may also occur.

Article Synopsis
- * An 18-year-old female with a history of recurring oral ulcers developed additional symptoms over ten years, leading to diagnoses of both BD and IgA nephropathy after biopsies.
- * The case highlights the rarity of co-occurrence between BD and IgAN in China, emphasizing the need for regular monitoring of kidney function in BD patients to catch potential issues early on.
