  3. First Presentation VA: OD 6/6, OS 6/6 IOP: OD 10mm Hg; OS 14mm Hg OU: non-granulomatousKP's AC 2+ cells; flare 2+; AVF occ. cells fundus: disc edema with hyperaemia

  4. Skin lesions • multiple, discharging pustules over the body • multiple pigmented, excavated scars on the back, face and limbs

  5. Mouth and Genital lesions Nodular lesions over penis and scrotum Mouth ulcer

  6. Polyarthritis • H/o multiple joint swelling and pain • Swelling of left ankle • Swelling of finger joints
