Abstract
Leptospirosis caused by the bacterium Leptospira, has been classified by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as a neglected tropical disease with worldwide significance. Leptospirosis in endemic places affects adults more frequently and severely than it affects children. There is a lack of data specifically focusing on children, and it is yet unknown why this discrepancy exists. As the majority of human leptospiral infections are mild or asymptomatic in endemic areas, goal of our study was to describe the prevalence of the Leptospira disease spectrum and the variations in clinical manifestations among patients admitted for febrile illness in a tertiary care facility.
