IJSR International Journal of Scientific Research 2277 - 8179 Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research ijsr-7-11-17246 Original Research Paper A CASE OF LEPTOSPIROSIS WITHOUT RENAL INVOLVEMENT Amandeep Singh Kaloti Dr. November 2018 7 11 01 02 ABSTRACT

 

Leptospirosis is caused by spirochaete bacteria belonging to the genus Leptospira. 21 species of Leptospira have been identified. 13 species cause disease or have been detected in human cases. Signs and symptoms can range from none to mild such as headaches, muscle pains, and fevers; to severe with bleeding from the lungs or meningitis.  If the infection causes the person to turn yellow, have kidney failure. Severe manifestations include extreme fatigue, hearing loss, respiratory distress, and azotemia. Here I report a case of leptospirosis which did not have any renal involvement and responded to the treatment.
