The relationship of oleic acid/albumin molar ratio and clinical outcomes in leptospirosis.

Human leptospirosis is an acute infectious zoonosis presenting specific lipid disorders. Previous studies showed both leptospira glycolipoprotein endotoxin, and high oleic acid levels were associated with Na/K-ATPase inhibition that is amplified by the reduction of circulating albumin levels. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship of oleic acid/albumin (OA/A) molar ratio and clinical outcomes in Leptospirosis.
