Título original Niektóre aspekty epidemiologiczne i kliniczne leptospiroz [en polonés]
Información bibliográfica 1975, Vol.10, No.1-2, p.61-70. 8 ref.
Resumen An analysis of 20 patients (1961-70) with leptospirosis showed that lack of observation of principles of hygiene was the principal cause of infection during contact with soil containing animal faeces. In only 1 of the 20 patients was the disease diagnosed correctly in its initial phases because of the variety and variability of clinical manifestations. There appears to be no connection between occurrence of pathological manifestations and the serotype of leptospira causing the disease. Cerebrospinal meningitis is frequently involved in the disease. Abstracts in English and Russian are appended.
