This case report describes a severe unilateral pediatric panuveitis initially suspected to be endogenous endophthalmitis because of hypopyon, vitritis, and exudative retinal detachment. Further investigations revealed an underlying systemic inflammatory disease associated with glomerulonephritis rather than an infectious cause. The patient showed clinical improvement following systemic corticosteroid therapy. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of differentiating severe inflammatory uveitis from infectious endophthalmitis and emphasizes the importance of thorough systemic evaluation in pediatric patients.
