Die Technik der intravitrealen Gentamicin Injektion darzulegen, die Auswirkungen dieser auf die klinischen Symptome von Uveitiden, sowie die möglichen unmittelbaren Komplikationen (innerhalb von 24 Stunden) und längerfristigen Komplikationen (30 bis 780 Tage) die mit dieser Technik verbunden sein können, zu beschreiben. Zusätzlich wurde der okuläre und systemische Leptospiren- Status ermittelt und der Einfluss dieser auf das Behandlungsergebnis untersucht.:Table of Contents
