Infections by host-maintained serovars such as Hardjo are well documented, unlike those from the incidental ones.

Loin pain (P < 0.001), abdominal pains (P = 0.

The paper approaches the possible leptospirotic etiology of non-icteric or late icteric digestive manifestations: digestive hemorrhage, particularly epigastric, acute cholecystitis (non-lithiasic), acute appendicitis, acute gastroenterocolitis, etc., which can be indicative of an acute or latent (from 14 days to several months) leptospirosis. A number of 300 patients with high fever, epidemiological data relevant for leptospirosis and diagnosis upon admission to hospital were investigated using the work method presented in the paper.
