Abstract:
Ocular complications are very frequent in leptospirosis and may develop in both the acute (bacteriemic) and the second (immunologic) phases of the disease. A delayed onset of these complications, even after months or years, is also possible. Keratoconjunctivitis and panuveitis belong to the most frequent signs. Targeted search for patients suspected of having leptospirosis and regular ophthalmological examinations even after cure of the acute illness may lead to early detection of ocular complications and to their specific treatment. Presented are a case report of complicated uveitis due to infection with Leptospira grippotyphosa and a literature overview.
