Leptospirosis is a direct zoonotic disease caused by spirochetes belonging to the genus Leptospira. Many animals act as carriers or vectors. Human infection results from accidental contact with carrier animals or environment contaminated with animal urine containing the organism. Epidemics of leptospirosis result from poor sanitation in urban areas and

Hemoperfusion in Leptospirosis
2023Leptospirosis is the most common zoonosis frequently seen in the tropics and subtropics especially during the rainy season when humans wade in floods contaminated by the urine of infected rats in urban areas. Aside from direct toxicity of the leptospires, the role of an exuberant immune response to the pathogen leading to secondary organ damage has ...

Thrombocytopenia in Leptospirosis
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1982In a retrospective study undertaken to document the frequency of thrombocytopenia in cases of leptospirosis, 18 of 32 patients (56.3%) had a platelet count of 100 x 10(3)/mm3 or less. Renal failure occurred in 72.2% of thrombocytopenic patients and in 21.4% of patients with normal platelet counts.

Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonosis affecting wild and domestic mammals. It is most commonly transmitted to humans by indirect contact with infected animals. Vascular injury, mainly capillary damage, and hemorrhagic diathesis are prominent features in the affected organs. The most severe form of the disease presents with high fever, intense jaundice,

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease with increased public health concern worldwide. The disease occurs more often in temperate and tropical regions. The present study analyzes the demographic, epidemiological and clinical data of 168 leptospirosis cases laboratory diagnosed in northern Greece during 1998-2014. Most patients were males, aged 50-69 years,

Summary Autopsy studies demonstrated four Leptospira icterohemorrhagiae infections among 1,121 rodents trapped from different localities in the Nile Delta of Egypt. Two of the infected rodents were Rattus norvegicus, one was Rattus rattus rattus, and one was Arvicanthis niloticus niloticus. The latter is a species of grass rat which has not before been
