Assessment of the efficacy of an IgM-elisa and microscopic agglutination test (MAT) in the diagnosis of acute leptospirosis.
In a prospective study in Barbados between 1979 and 1989, 321 cases were diagnosed in 638 patients presenting at a hospital with symptoms of leptospirosis. Initial diagnosis was based on patient history and characteristic signs and symptoms. In 92 cases (29%), diagnosis was confirmed by isolation of organisms from the blood, urine, or dialysate fluid; in the remaining 229 cases (71%) diagnosis ...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Leptospirosis: Comparison between Microscopic Agglutination Test, IgM-ELISA and IgM Rapid Immunochromatography Test
BACKGROUND Leptospirosis is diagnosed on clinical grounds, and confirmed by microscopic agglutination test (MAT). IgM-ELISA (Serion-Virion) and immunochromatography test (Leptocheck-WB) are two immunodiagnostic assays for leptospirosis. Their sensitivity, specificity and applicability in Sri Lanka have not been systematically evaluated. METHODS Clinically diagnosed leptospirosis patients (n =...

A study was carried out on 16 cases of leptospirosis with acute renal failure (ARF) detected in adult patients admitted into the Medical and Nephrology wards of the General Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, over a four-year period from 1980 to 1983. Most of the cases were male, Malays and older adults. The predominant infecting serovars were L. celledoni (of the serogroup L. javanica and L. pomona (of th...
متن کاملAcute renal failure due to leptospirosis grippotyphosa.
In a minority of previously healthy patients presenting with acute renal failure, infectious agents are responsible for renal deterioration. Isolation of microorganisms is often unsuccessful and therefore a nosological diagnosis difficult. We describe two patients with reversible acute renal failure, which by serological methods proved to be due to infection with Leptospira grippotyphosa. It is...
متن کامل2010 ACVIM Small Animal Consensus Statement on Leptospirosis: Diagnosis, Epidemiology, Treatment, and Prevention
This report offers a consensus opinion on the diagnosis, epidemiology, treatment, and prevention of leptospirosis in dogs, an important zoonosis. Clinical signs of leptospirosis in dogs relate to development of renal disease, hepatic disease, uveitis, and pulmonary hemorrhage. Disease may follow periods of high rainfall, and can occur in dogs roaming in proximity to water sources, farm animals,...
