Unusual ocular clinical manifestation of leptospirosis.

DISCUSSION: Bilateral, multiple serous detachments of retina and retinal pigment epithelium can be a complication of systemic leptospirosis, a zoonotic disease caused by Leptospira. Without a detailed medical history it may be underdiagnosed, mainly because it can mimic other more common diseases. It may be prudent to ask patients regarding contact with pets.
