Although systemic bacterial diseases are an uncommon cause of uveitis in dogs, they should be included in the differential diagnoses for uveitis. A work-up for uveitis should include tests for B. canis and B. burgdorferi. If an aqueous centesis is performed, Leptospira titers or PCR can be performed on the aqueous humor and the serum. Better documentation of the role of Leptospira and B. burgdorferi in uveitis in the dog is needed. Any suspected cases should be worked-up thoroughly. If the dog does prove to be positive for the organism, the case should be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal.
尽管全身性细菌疾病是犬葡萄膜炎的罕见病因，但在葡萄膜炎的鉴别诊断中应将其纳入考虑。葡萄膜炎的检查应包括对犬布鲁氏菌和伯氏疏螺旋体的检测。如果进行房水穿刺，可对房水和血清进行钩端螺旋体滴度检测或聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测。需要更好地记录钩端螺旋体和伯氏疏螺旋体在犬葡萄膜炎中的作用。任何疑似病例都应进行全面检查。如果犬被证明该病原体呈阳性，该病例应提交给同行评审期刊。
