It is a zoonosis (strictly, an anthropozoonosis) acquired by humans from an animal source. The causal bacterium is a pathogenic spirochete of the genus Leptospira, of wh...
Therefore, there is an urgent need for new diagnostic tests that are faster and able to detect the disease at an early stage and that may be performed in areas having limited laboratory capacity, allowing for the rapid initiation of treatment of the patient. Inactivated vaccines, known as ...
The diagnosed leptospirosis cases are just the tip of the iceberg; many go undiagnosed due to the protean manifestations of the disease. The drug of choice for treatment is Penicillin. Vaccines are available for animals. An approved vaccine for humans is still awaited. 展开 年份: 2016 ...
Antibiotic treatment is efficient in the early and late/severe phases and revert all kidney transporters. Early and daily hemodialysis, low daily net fluid intake, and lung-protective strategies are recommended for critically ill patients with leptospirosis. 展开 ...

Although only 14 patients received adequate treatment, all patients recovered completely. Since the number of patients with imported leptospirosis is increasing and the signs and symptoms of the disease are not specific, leptospirosis should be included in the differential diagnosis when a traveler ...
