“…Most frequently the clinical presentation of ocular leishmaniasis in humans is anterior uveitis either prior to or just after presumed successful treatment of visceral leishmaniasis. Less frequently parasites are found in the orbit [9,10]. Uveitis can progress to secondary glaucoma [9], a disease of retinal cells.…”

When listing common clinical signs of the spectra of Leishmania-derived diseases, neurologic malfunctions are not commonly included. Despite this, there are multiple reported instances both in human and veterinary medicine where neurologic manifestations, whether central or peripheral, are described. In this review, we describe neurologic manifestations seen during infection with Leishmania spp. with some discussion of the implicit effect of inflammation on the blood brain barrier in both medical and veterinary cases. Taken together, the material discussed here suggests that in patients from Leishmania-endemic areas, when observing neurologic symptoms, causation secondary to infection with Leishmania spp. should be highly considered.

Less frequently parasites are found in the orbit (Dechant et al, 1980;el-Hassan et al, 1991). Uveitis can progress to secondary glaucoma (Dechant et al, 1980), a disease of retinal cells.…”
