Leptospirosis is a blood infection caused by the bacterium Leptospira [8] that can infect humans, dogs, rodents and many other wild and domesticated animals. [8] Signs and symptoms can range from none to mild (headaches, muscle pains, and fevers) to severe (bleeding in the lungs or meningitis). [5]
The icteric form is also known as Weil's disease. [29] It has been shown in studies that L. interrogans may damage the endothelial cell lining of various vessels and organs, allowing them to leak and further spread the bacteria to other parts of the body. [30] Symptoms can appear anywhere between 2 and 4 weeks after exposure.
The incubation time was believed to be about 2 weeks, with a duration of infection of several months. The lethality estimate was, based on epidemiological information, 1 to 2 per cent. Agent AM was believed to be a somewhat more virulent disease, with a fatality rate of 3 per cent being expected. [citation needed]
The causative agent of DLHA is a cold-active immunoglobulin commonly denoted as the D–L autoantibody which demonstrates bi-phasic hemolysin capability of causing serious hemolysis even when the titer detection is low, which is because of its capacity to detach itself from the lysed RBCs and consequently bind intact erythrocytes according to ...

An etiological agent of disease may require an independent co-factor, and be subject to a promoter (increases expression) to cause disease. An example of all the above, which was recognized late, is that peptic ulcer disease may be induced by stress, requires the presence of acid secretion in the stomach, and has primary etiology in ...
In the United States, P. boydii is the most common causal agent of eumycetoma, and tends to be more common in men than in women, particularly in the 20- to 45-year-old age group. [10] In the United States, the incidence of infection by S. apiospermum between 1993 and 1998 was 0.82 per 100,000 patient-inpatient days; this figure increased to 1. ...
Symptoms can take 1–2 days to 2 weeks to present themselves within the host. [10] The diagnosis of RMSF is easier when there is a known history of a tick bite or if the rash is already apparent in the affected individual. [39] If not treated properly, the illness may become serious, leading to hospitalization and possible fatality. [40]
