Concurrent Scrub Typhus, Dengue, and Leptospirosis: A Rare Triple Co-Infection: A Case Report and Comprehensive Literature Review. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT In endemic areas, acute undifferentiated febrile illness has a wide differential with overlapping features that can lead to misdiagnosis. Although triple co‐infection with scrub typhus, dengue, and leptospirosis is extremely rare, high clinical suspicion and early detection are vital to avoid delayed treatment, multi‐organ dysfunction, and ...

Genotyping Reveals Potential Sources of Human Leptospirosis Outbreaks in Aotearoa New Zealand. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Introduction The introduction of PCR testing for leptospirosis in Aotearoa New Zealand has reduced the availability of serotyping data, and current diagnostic PCRs do not routinely genotype Leptospira. This study genotyped Leptospira from PCR‐confirmed human cases between 2016 and 2023 and compared them with genotypes found in animals to ...
