Resumo: This case report describes the findings of a 18 year-old black male from Bahia, a Northeastern state in Brazil, with the sickle cell trait, who developed bilateral hyphema and vitreous hemorrhage with blindness in the course of leptospirosis. The patient started to complain of blurred vision four days after the start of fever and muscular pain and approximately twelve hours after the introduction of penicillin. The severity of the leptospirosis in conjunction with sickle cell trait was considered to be the most likely explanation for this ocular complication.

Este relato de caso descreve os achados em homem negro com 18 anos de idade, da Bahia, estado do nordeste do Brasil, com estigma falciforme que desenvolveu hifema bilateral e hemorragia vítrea com cegueira no curso de leptospirose. O paciente começou a se queixar de visão embaçada quatro dias após o início da febre e da dor muscular e aproximadamente 12 horas após o início da penicilina. A gravidade da leptospirose em conjunto com o estigma falciforme foi considerada a mais provável explicação para esta complicação ocular. Universidade de São Paulo.
