Abstract
The authors present the clinical and epidemiological features of leptospirosis among residents in Belarus. The main reservoirs of infection are described. We have demonstrated a clinical case of severe leptospirosis. To solve the set tasks in this research, we used methods of epidemiological diagnostics and statistical research methods. According to the results obtained, the incidence of leptospirosis in Belarus for the studied interval (2007—2020) was unevenly distributed over the years. The maximum and minimum indicators differed six times. The average long-term incidence rate was 0.25 cases per 100 000 population (95 % CI 0.2—0.3). The analyzed period was characterized by a stable long-term epidemic trend towards a decrease in morbidity. Severe clinical signs of leptospirosis have been associated with L. incterohaemorragiae in a male patient. The highest average annual incidence rates of leptospirosis were noted in the Mogilev and Gomel regions (0.85 %00 and 0.49 %00), and the lowest rates were recorded in the Brest region (0.03 %00).
