Abstract
Treatment of leptospiral uveitis primarily consists of steroid therapy[4] - ocular as topical preparations, or posterior sub tenon (PST) steroid injections, and systemic steroid supplementation. We looked at the records of patients with leptospiral uveitis with a view to correlate the modality of steroid administration with clinical treatment outcomes, namely an improvement in visual acuity and decrease of inflammatory reaction in the affected eyes.
