Lepromatous uveitis diagnosed by iris biopsy.

E M Messmer1, M B Raizman, C S Foster.   

Abstract

Ocular leprosy is rarely seen in developed countries. We report the long-term follow-up of a patient with bilateral uveitis, glaucoma, and keratitis. Skin, iris and aqueous humor biopsies disclosed abundant Wade-Fite-positive organisms consistent with Mycobacterium leprae. Leprosy must be considered in the differential diagnosis of keratitis and uveitis.
