The article presents information on leptospiral uveitis in developing countries. It explores the epidemiology of the disease, which is known to occur mostly in developing countries with tropical climates. The manifestations of ocular involvement in leptospirosis involve discharge or subconjunctival hemorrhage. Worldwide strategies for fighting leptospirosis, particularly the creation of a website providing updates on leptospirosis incidents, diagnosis, and control, are discussed.
