Variable

Treatment Outcome

Post-Injection Complications

Breed

Appaloosas: more recurrent inflammation than other breeds

NC

Coat color

Leopard patterned: more recurrent inflammation than other coat colours

NC

Flare pre-IVGI

NC

NO flare: increased risk of retinal degeneration

Leptospira status of the eye

Multiple positive C-values (≥4) for multiple individual serovars: increased incidence of persistent inflammation

NC

Aqeuous humor titer in total

Multiple positive individual aqueous humor titers for Leptospira (≥1:400): increased incidence of persistent inflammation

NC

Single serum titer

One positive serum titer for Leptospira (≥1:400): increased incidence of persistent inflammation
