ABSTRACT
CME Zoonosis in Switzerland Leptospirosis Abstract. Leptospirosis is worldwide a common zoonosis that also occurs in Switzerland. Frequently it presents as a self-limited, mild illness. The more severe presentation with jaundice and sever acute kidney injury (Weil's disease) is, however, associated with a high morbidity and mortality. In order to make the diagnosis, it is important to recognize the typical findings and perform the appropriate diagnostic workup. In this article, we discuss the clinical signs, diagnostic workup, therapy and prevention of leptospirosis and present the case of a 54-year-old patient with severe leptospirosis.
