| Resumen |
Over a 2-year period leptospirosis was diagnosed in specimens from 208 of 2516 patients with suggestive symptoms. The most common serological reactions were with serovars hardjo, pomona and tarassovi. There was a clear association between infection and occupation in 101 farmers, 44 meat workers and 11 meat inspectors. Leptospirosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with pyrexia who have occupational contact with animals, and the appropriate serological and culture examinations carried out. |
