A 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 for Leptospira serovarieties revealed titers of 1 : 12 800 for Leptospira canicola and 1 : 200 for Leptospira icterohemorrhagiae. With medical therapy, the panuveitis resolved and functional vision was regained. Four weeks after the initial presentation, convalescent titers were 1 : 200 for L. canicola and 1 : 100 for L. icterohemorrhagiae. The incidence of leptospirosis, along with difficulties diagnosing, and current medical therapies for this disease are also discussed.
报告了一例8岁杰克罗素梗因钩端螺旋体感染导致全葡萄膜炎的病例。初次眼科检查时，双眼可见轻度前房积血、房水闪光和部分浆液性视网膜脱离。钩端螺旋体血清型的血清显微镜凝集试验显示，犬型钩端螺旋体滴度为1:12 800，出血性黄疸型钩端螺旋体滴度为1:200。经过药物治疗，全葡萄膜炎消退，恢复了功能性视力。初次就诊四周后，犬型钩端螺旋体的恢复期滴度为1:200，出血性黄疸型钩端螺旋体的恢复期滴度为1:100。文中还讨论了钩端螺旋体病的发病率、诊断困难以及该病目前的药物治疗方法。
