Weil's disease: A case report with icterus, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure

Abstract

Leptospirosis caused by Leptospira interrogans is an acute, febrile, zoonotic disease of worldwide distribution. Humans become infected by direct or indirect contact with infected animals. A 73-year-old male patient with a history of a rat bite in his ear and complaints of fatigue, generalized body and headache and dyspnea was diagnosed with leptospirosis and admitted to the intensive care unit. Here we report on a case of Weil's disease with icterus, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure.
