| Summary: | Leptospirosis is widely regarded as the most widespread zoonosis in the world. Systemic leptospirosis is a biphasic illness. Ocular involvement in leptospirosis has been reported to be extremely variable, ranging from 2% to 90 %.Ocular involvement is seen both in the systemic bacteremic phase as well as in the immunological phase. Leptospiral uveitis is a common entity in the tropical countries. However it remains underdiagnosed mainly because ocular manifestations are noted in the second phase of illness.
