Heerfordt syndrome

Sir,

I read with interest the article by Marie and colleagues.1 The authors cite that parotiditis in sarcoidosis is Heerfordt syndrome, I disagree. Heerfordt syndrome or uveoparotid fever was first described in 1909 by Christian Frederik Heerfordt, a Danish ophthalmologist, 1871–1953. Such syndrome consists of fever, parotid gland enlargement, anterior uveitis and facial nerve palsy.2–5
