[Sero-epidemiologic study of 277 cases of human leptospirosis in the central eastern region of France between 1972 and 1984]. / Etude seroépidémiologique de 277 cas de leptospirose humaine dans le Centre-Est de la France entre 1972 et 1984.

ABSTRACT

We reported 277 clinical cases of Leptospirosis with a significant serological title (greater than 100) by lyse-agglutination. Sera were sampled from 1972 to 1984 among 9182 subjects living in Central-Eastern departments of France) for immunological diagnosis of leptospirosis. We noted the stability of the average yearly rate in this region, the difficulty in evaluating the incidence of the disease, the clinical predominance of icterus and the good clinical prognosis with specific antibiotherapy.
