Leptospirosis in humans is an acute zoonotic infection characterized by signs of capillarotoxicosis, damage to the kidneys, liver, central nervous system, skeletal
muscles, accompanied by intoxication, fever, severe myalgia, and often jaundice. The causative agents of the disease, Leptospira interrogans, are spiral
microorganisms adapted to life in water. Animals are the source of infection. In natural foci – rodents and insectivores (voles, rats, mice, shrews, hedgehogs), in
which the infection is asymptomatic, and leptospira are excreted in the urine for a
long time. In recent years, the epidemiological significance of dogs and gray rats in
the transmission of pathogens to humans has increased.
