A 47-year-old male was admitted because of persistent jaundice. Akiyami C disease was diagnosed by serological tests using the microscopic agglutination tests. The source was considered to be a water contaminated with leptospiras which he had drunk while working at a civil engineering job. The reported cases of Akiyami C disease have recently decreased and this is the 6th case reported in the last 15 years.

Symptoms of the early phase leptospirosis often are non-specific and can be a major problem in making a diagnosis of febrile illnesses.

The protective antigens (PAgs), glycolipid substance, were extracted from Leptospira interrogans serovars autumnalis, hebdomadis, australis and copenhageni, which were considered as main causal serovars of human leptospirosis in Japan, with chloroform-methanol-water (1:2:0.8, [vol/vol/vol]) solution. The tetra-valent formalin-inactivated leptospiral vaccine (Weil's disease and Akiyami combined vaccine) composed of the four serovars mentioned are used as vaccine to protect human from leptospiral infection in Japan.
