Article Synopsis
- Leptospirosis is a widespread bacterium that affects both humans and animals, typically causing mild infections, but in some cases, it can lead to severe conditions like Weil's disease, which involves liver issues and, rarely, complications such as cholecystitis.
- In a case study, a 66-year-old man with symptoms of abdominal pain, fever, and jaundice was initially diagnosed with acute calculous cholecystitis, but further investigation revealed signs of leptospirosis, leading to appropriate treatment before surgery.
- The study highlights that Weil's disease can imitate acute cholecystitis symptoms, emphasizing the need for careful diagnosis and the consideration of leptospirosis in patients with certain risk

Article Synopsis
- Bovine leptospirosis is a significant reproductive disease that often leads to abortion in cattle, prompting economic losses; accurate diagnosis is essential due to the disease's complex causes.
- Five aborted fetuses from the same herd were examined using L32-PCR to detect leptospiral DNA in various organs, finding positive results in multiple unconventional sites, including the heart and lungs.
- Serological screenings indicated that 36.6% of cows in the herd were reactive, and further analysis from both fetuses and cows resulted in seven identified sequences of leptospira, primarily from genital samples.
