    Successful visceral leishmaniasis treatment can lead to bilateral anterior uveitis, a serious eye condition. This complication can cause secondary glaucoma and other ocular issues, requiring careful patient monitoring.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Leishmaniasis Research

    Background:

    • Visceral leishmaniasis (kala-azar) is a severe parasitic disease.
    • Successful treatment of visceral leishmaniasis is crucial for patient recovery.
    • Ocular complications following leishmaniasis treatment are not widely documented.

    Observation:

    • Three patients developed bilateral anterior uveitis post-treatment for visceral leishmaniasis.
    • The uveitis occurred at the end of, or shortly after, treatment completion.
    • One patient experienced associated post kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis.

    Findings:

    • Bilateral anterior uveitis is a potential complication of visceral leishmaniasis treatment.
    • Secondary glaucoma developed in two of the affected patients.

  • Eye lesions in one case were linked to post kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis.

    • Implications:

    • Ophthalmologists and infectious disease specialists should be aware of this potential adverse event.
    • Increased vigilance for ocular complications is warranted in patients treated for visceral leishmaniasis.
    • Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms and prevalence of post-leishmaniasis uveitis.
