Leptospirosis

Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that affects humans and animals. Human beings are infected by direct contact with the environment contaminated with urine or urine of infected animals. Bacteria enter the body through skin incisions or abrasions or through the mouth, nose and eye mucosa. Communication among people is rare

In the early stages of the disease, the symptoms are high fever, severe headache, muscle pain, chill, red eye, abdominal pain, jaundice, bleeding from the skin and mucosa, vomiting, diarrhea, rashes.

Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease which infects humans and various animals. It occurs worldwide, but more common in temperate and tropical regions of the world. Some people infected with leptospirosis have no symptoms at all, others are seriously ill. Wild animals such as cattle, pigs, dogs, raccoons, rodents and livestock carry bacteria to urine. People are exposed directly to the tissues of urine and infected animals, exposed to contaminated soil, food and water become sick

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection caused by the pathogen Leptospira. Leptospira or leptospirosis affects dogs and humans, and in some cases may result in death. Dogs are infected with Leptospira (organisms growing in water) by eating water contaminated with urine or by being exposed to infected urine. Leptospira breeds with the kidneys of the dog and continues the life cycle. Symptoms include fever, vomiting, depression, anorexia, systemic pain and conjunctivitis. Subsequent symptoms include a decrease in body temperature, an increase in thirst, a change in urine color, jaundice, frequent urination, dehydration, dyspnea, muscle tremor, vomiting, and bloody stools. If found early, antibiotics shorten the length of the disease and help to reduce potential organ damage. In more severe cases, renal filtration and transfusion may be necessary. Approximately 10% of cases of Leptospira cause secondary death complications
