"Ictero" refers to jaundice, and "hemorrhagic" refers to a propensity towards bleeding. In certain forms of leptospirosis, patients develop a condition known as Weil's disease, or icterohemorrhagic leptospirosis. This is a severe form of leptospirosis, and leads to liver and kidney disease (the liver disease results in jaundice). These patients may also suffer from anemia, fever, and hemorrhage.

What is puerperal sepsis?
Puerperal fever (from the Latin puer, child), also called childbed fever, can develop into puerperal sepsis, which is a serious form of septicaemia contracted by a woman during or shortly after childbirth, miscarriage or abortion. If untreated, it is life-threatening. The most common infection causing puerperal fever is genital tract sepsis. Other types of infection that can lead to sepsis after childbirth include urinary tract infection, breast infection (mastitis) and respiratory tract infection (more common after anaesthesia due to lesions in the windpipe). Puerperal fever is now rare in the West due to improved hygiene during delivery, and deaths have been reduced by antibiotics.

What does leptospyrosis do?
Leptospirosis (also known as Weil's disease, Weil's syndrome, canicola fever, canefield fever, nanukayami fever, 7-day fever, "Fort Bragg fever," and "Pretibial fever") is a bacterial zoonotic disease caused by spirochaetes of the genus Leptospira that affects humans and a wide range of animals, including mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles. It was first described by Adolf Weil in 1886 when he reported an "acute infectious disease with enlargement of spleen, jaundice and nephritis". Leptospira was first observed in 1907 from a post mortem renal tissue slice.Though being recognised among the world's most common zoonoses, leptospirosis is a relatively rare bacterial infection in humans. The infection is commonly transmitted to humans by allowing water that has been contaminated by animal urine to come in contact with unhealed breaks in the skin, eyes or with the mucous membranes. Outside of tropical areas, leptospirosis cases have a relatively distinct seasonality with most of them occurring August-September/February-March.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptospirosishttp://www.medicinenet.com/leptospirosis/article.htmhttp://www.merck.com/mmpe/sec14/ch174/ch174c.HTML#sec14-ch174-ch174c-953
