Human leptospirosis: clinical and laboratory diagnosis

The findings in this study are of epidemiologic importance since the leptospires were isolated from human cases in 18 of 46 suspected cases (39%) which is a much better isolation rate than the previous local attemptsA clinical analysis of these patients was presented to enligthen the clinicians about this health problem and to help them confirm the diagnosis which is primarily the objective of this studyWith a wider realization of this health problem, we may in the future be able to institute adequate and necessary health sanitation and improvement to prevent and control such disease which should only be confined to animals.
