ABSTRACT
Changes in lipid fractions were evaluated in young guinea pigs when infected with 1 ml of 7 day old live cultures of leptospira interrogans serovars australis, canicola and icterohaemorrhagiae. Statistically significant elevation in triglycerides, very low density lipoprotein and phospholipid and a significant reduction in high density lipoprotein (HDL) in all the groups was observed. Cholesterol and low density lipoprotein showed ascending trend in icterohaemorrhagiae group, whereas they were normal in other groups. The results suggest that increase in triglycerides, phospholipid and decrease in HDL in a suspected case of leptospirosis may be considered as markers.
