A case report of Weil's disease

Abstract

We are reporting a case of Weil's disease which is a severe form of leptospirosis manifesting with fever, jaundice, renal failure and hemorrhagic manifestations as it is a very important public health problem and to focus that it is also occurring in our area. The treating physicians may be alerted to consider the leptospirosis in the differential diagnosis of fevers so that early empirical treatment can be given to avoid the multi-organ dysfunction and mortality.
