A Rare Complication of Leptospirosis : Weil's Disease Diagnosed in the United States
Copyright © 2023, Rathi et al..
Leptospirosis is mostly found in tropical regions such as Latin America and Southeast Asia. Here we present a case of leptospirosis in the United States in a 43-year-old African American male who had complications such as sepsis, acute renal failure, hyperbilirubinemia, and transaminitis. Through this case report, we want to highlight the rare occurrence of this infection in the United States. It should be considered high in the list of differential diagnoses for patients traveling to underdeveloped countries and participating in adventure sports. Early recognition and treatment of leptospirosis are essential in decreasing life-threatening complications.
