Abstract

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease that is caused by the pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira. The infection occurs worldwide and is particularly more common in the tropics. However, it is becoming a neglected reemerging global health disease due to rapid urbanisation. This disease has a wide range of clinical manifestations from flu-like illness to pneumonia, acute kidney injury, etc. But many uncommon clinical findings are being reported as well. In this paper, we report four patients who presented initially with uveitic features who turned out serologically positive for Leptospira after extensive investigations.
