Abstract
AbstractA case of panuveitis as a result of leptospiral infection in an 8‐year‐old Jack Russell Terrier is reported. Mild hyphema, aqueous flare, and partial serous retinal detachments were noted in both eyes on initial ophthalmic examination. The serum microscopic agglutination testing forLeptospiraserovarieties revealed titers of 1 : 12 800 forLeptospira canicola and1 : 200 forLeptospira icterohemorrhagiae.With medical therapy, the panuveitis resolved and functional vision was regained. Four weeks after the initial presentation, convalescent titers were 1 : 200 forL. canicolaand 1 : 100 forL. icterohemorrhagiae. The incidence of leptospirosis, along with difficulties diagnosing, and current medical therapies for this disease are also discussed.
