ABSTRACT

Leptospirosis is an infectious illness encountered mostly in tropical climates and has been of particular concern in Haiti after natural disasters. Heavy rainfalls and natural disasters in combination with scarce resources to control and identify clusters of infections make certain populations and countries vulnerable. In some cases, patients who contract this disease may need air medical transport to hospitals that have a higher level of care. In this case report, a trio of cases is highlighted from an outbreak that required air transport to transfer patients to a facility with the availability of an intensive care unit. The goal of highlighting these cases is to increase the awareness of physicians and air transport providers to the manifestation and treatment of this disease and to provide pearls to stabilize patients during transport.
