Abstract
Spotted fever is a common rickettsial disease in India. It is caused by <i>Rickettsia conorii</i>, which demonstrates vascular tropism and causes endothelial injury. Ocular manifestations include multifocal retinitis and disc edema. Anterior uveitis as a presenting feature of spotted fever is uncommon. We present a 32-year-old man with spotted fever and bilateral anterior uveitis.
