Purpose of reviewSystemic leptospirosis exists worldwide. But leptospiral uveitis, an important late complication is not identified by ophthalmologists in several countries.Recent findingsIn the last 18 months numerous publications, especially on epidemiology, surveillances, and novel rapid diagnostic kits to test at the point of care site on leptospirosis have been published from all over the world. However, publications from ophthalmologists are very scarce. Remarkably ophthalmologists should know the global burden of leptospirosis, prevalence of the disease in their country, demographic factors associated, risk factors, and systemic signs to elicit relevant history and travel history. They should be aware of recent advances in investigations to confirm their clinical diagnosis.SummaryIt is quite evident from this work that leptospirosis is prevalent worldwide. Ophthalmologists’ awareness has to improve to identify the etiological diagnosis. They should have access to simple, less expensive, and less cumbersome laboratory tests.

Leptospirosis is a quintessential one health disease of humans and animals caused by pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira. Intra- and interspecies transmission is dependent on 1) reservoir host animals in which organisms replicate and are shed in urine over long periods of time, 2) the persistence of spirochetes in the environment, and 3) subsequent human-animal-environmental interactions. The combination of increased flooding events due to climate change, changes in human-animal-environmental interactions as a result of the pandemic that favor a rise in the incidence of leptospirosis, and under-recognition of leptospirosis because of nonspecific clinical signs and severe signs that resemble COVID-19 represents a “perfect storm” for resurgence of leptospirosis in people and domestic animals. Although often considered a disease that occurs in warm, humid climates with high annual rainfall, pathogenic Leptospira spp have recently been associated with disease in animals and humans that reside in semiarid regions like the southwestern US and have impacted humans that have a wide spectrum of socioeconomic backgrounds. Therefore, it is critical that physicians, veterinarians, and public health experts maintain a high index of suspicion for the disease regardless of geographic and socioeconomic circumstances and work together to understand outbreaks and implement appropriate control measures. Over the last decade, major strides have been made in our understanding of the disease because of improvements in diagnostic tests, molecular epidemiologic tools, educational efforts on preventive measures, and vaccines. These novel approaches are highlighted in the companion Currents in One Health by Sykes et al, AJVR, September 2022.

As variações espaço-temporal dos elementos climáticos, associadas ao agravamento dos problemas socioambientais, podem propiciar o aparecimento de doenças relacionadas à veiculação hídrica, como dengue e leptospirose. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho é correlacionar variáveis ambientais a ocorrência de doenças de veiculação hídrica, no século XXI (2001 a 2019), no município de Belém-PA, bem como identificar as possíveis associações dos agravos à saúde oriundos das condições de saneamento básico da localidade. Para isso, realizou-se um levantamento da quantidade mensal de casos de dengue e leptospirose (SINAN e SESMA) e das variáveis precipitação, temperatura e umidade relativa do ar (INMET). Posteriormente, foram aplicadas as metodologias: estatística descritiva, correlação de Spearman (ρ), Análise de Componentes Principais (PCA), Análise de Regressão Múltipla, espacialização pela interpolação IDW e a avaliação das condições de saneamento básico. Os resultados mostram um comportamento mensal similar da precipitação, umidade, dengue e leptospirose; com maiores valores no período chuvoso da região, indicando correlação entre as variáveis estudadas neste trabalho. Observou-se, ainda, a precariedade nas condições de saneamento de alguns bairros de Belém, o que facilita a proliferação de vetores transmissores. Infere-se, portanto, que a sazonalidade tenha participação nos valores das doenças mencionadas, não se limitando somente a variável precipitação, mas a uma série de condições ambientais e climáticas referentes ao período de análise. Ademais, estima-se que este estudo sirva de referência para outras pesquisas e contribua no desenvolvimento de soluções que minimizem a problemática.
