Objective 1: To compare the various diagnostic tools for accurate diagnosis of human leptospirosis in patients presenting with acute febrile illness.Objective 2: To study serovar-specific clinical characteristics, complications and prognosis of infections by the predominant serovars.
Objective 3: Molecular characterization of Leptospira by Multilocus sequence typing (MLST).
Patients of both gender and >18 years of age presenting to the Kasturba Hospital, Manipal and diagnosed with Acute febrile illness (AFI) will be included in this study.
Fever of <14 days duration with any two of the following signs and symptoms. Myalgia, headache, jaundice, conjunctival suffusion, rash (maculopapular), hepatic dysfunction, GI symptoms (e.g., abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea), pulmonary complications (ARDS), acute kidney injury (AKI), haemorrhage (e.g., intestinal, pulmonary, haematuria, hematemesis), aseptic meningitis.
Objective 4:
Sero-epidemiological study of human leptospirosis amongst high-risk population (farmers) of Udupi District.
Healthy farmers with no history of fever and antibiotic therapy in the previous two weeks and >18 years of age of both the gender will be included in the study.
