Severe uveitis linked to Toxoplasma gondii, Listeria monocytogenes, and Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae requires corticotherapy. Standard antibacterial and antiparasitic treatments alone are insufficient for these challenging cases.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Infectious Diseases
Immunology

Background:

Uveitis can stem from various infectious agents.
Identifying less common etiological factors is crucial for effective treatment.

Observation:

Three severe uveitis cases were observed.
Etiologies included Toxoplasma gondii, Listeria monocytogenes, and Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae.
The uveitis presented with rapid progression and recurrent tendencies.

Findings:

Standard antibacterial and antiparasitic therapies were insufficient.
Corticosteroids were essential in managing the severe inflammatory response.

Implications:

Highlights the need for considering specific infectious agents in severe uveitis.
