ABSTRACT
Leptospiral antibodies could be demonstrated by microscopic agglutination test in 14 of 15 (93%) patients with acute panuveitis and retinal vasculitis in a preliminary study undertaken during the postmonsoon period at Madurai in Tamilnadu, India. The predominant serogroup was Pomona followed by Autumnalis, Australis and Javanica, the titres being between 1160 and 110240. Titres in the normal controls were 120 to 180 in 8 of 20 mostly to the endemic serogroup Autumnalis. The involvement of leptospires particularly Pomona as a cause of ophthalmic complications in the patients studied is likely.
