The later symptoms of jaundice and kidney failure together with the bacteremic phase symptoms suggest leptospirosis. Blood samples will be tested to look for antibodies to Leptospira interrogans.
Leptospirosis is caused by a type of bacteria called Leptospira. It is not caused by a protozoan.
The two main types of leptospirosis are acute leptospirosis and severe leptospirosis. Acute leptospirosis typically presents with mild flu-like symptoms, including fever, headache, and muscle aches, and often resolves without treatment. Severe leptospirosis can lead to serious complications such as kidney damage, liver failure, respiratory distress, and can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Both types are caused by the Leptospira bacteria, which can be transmitted through contaminated water or soil.
