ABSTRACT
Leptospirosis is one of the most widespread zoonotic diseases in the world. Infection may range from sub clinical infection to death of the patient. It may also occur endemically in tropical countries, showing seasonal incidences following heavy rainfall. As the diagnosis is difficult due to vague clinical symptoms, laboratory investigations are essential for the confirmation of the disease. This study was undertaken to correlate the clinical findings, occupation and behavioural pattern in seropositive cases of Leptospirosis. A total of 733 patients suspected of Leptospirosis were tested for specific IgM ELISA and clinical findings, occupation and behavioural pattern were noted.
