ABSTRACT
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis of very variable clinical expression. The severe pulmonary hemorrhagic syndrome is an uncommon form of the disease, with high mortality rates. We report the case of a young woman who lives in an urban area and consulted with the physician for fever, hemoptoic expectoration and dyspnea, and developed ventilatory failure and bleeding of the airway. The diagnosis was obtained by means of serologic tests and epidemiological history.
