Article Synopsis
- Limited reports on leptospirosis in horses prompted a study of 11 cases from 2015 to 2023, focusing on clinical signs and diagnostic methods.
- Common symptoms observed included lethargy, anorexia, fever, and acute kidney injury, with several horses also showing signs of pulmonary and liver disease.
- The study emphasizes that leptospirosis should be a key consideration in horses displaying acute systemic inflammation, urging the use of both serology and urine PCR for accurate diagnosis.
