摘　　要：We reported an 8-year-old boy with panscleritis in left eye and right epididymitis after falling on the ground.Etiologic diagnosis played a key role in this case.Systemic examinations ruled out systemic autoimmune diseases,tumors,and infections as the cause of scleritis and suggested that the disease was caused by a local delayedtype hypersensitivity(DTH)induced by ocular trauma and was non-infectious.Still,the right epididymitis was infectious.Both conditions were treated successfully using steroids and antibiotics,respectively.Thus,early etiologic diagnosis and reasonable treatment are crucial to prevent visual loss.
