PURPOSE: To report recurrence of tubercular choroiditis following anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in two patients with quiescent disease activity for more than a year. METHODS: Retrospective observational case reports. RESULTS: Two patients (one female and one male) under follow-up for posterior uveitis having stable course with absence of ocular inflammation for more than a year presented with recurrence of choroiditis lesions 2-6 weeks following anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Both the patients were managed with intravitreal dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex®, Allergan, Inc., Irvine, CA, USA) and showed resolution of choroiditis lesions upon follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Acute onset recurrence of inflammation, in absence of any change in health status or treatment suggests the potential role of vaccination being the trigger of this reactivation. Given large-scale vaccination against novel coronavirus- SARS-CoV-2, careful vigilance is warranted to pick up the disease recurrence in patients with posterior uveitis.
