    Abstract:
    A 58-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of fever and arthralgia. His clinical course and marked ciliary hyperemia led us to suspect tubulointestinal nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome, which was confirmed ophthalmologically and by renal biopsy. Results of a drug-induced lymphocyte-stimulating test were positive for the Chinese herb "Goreisan." This is the first case in which the use of "Goreisan" was causally related to TINU syndrome.
