Study of the Innate Immune Response to the Acute Phase of Human Leptospirosis - IMMUNOLEPTO

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Leptospirosis
Interventions
Other: two additional blood samples specific to research
Registration Number
NCT05413720
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de la Réunion
Brief Summary

The research hypothesis is based on a suspected strong involvement of the immune system in the genesis of serious manifestations of the disease (hepatitis, renal failure, thrombocytopenia, intra-alveolar hemorrhage). The question asked is that of the state of the immune system (quantitative and qualitative: activation markers, production of cytokines) evaluated by the study of circulating innate immune cells (monocytes, neutrophils, dendritic cells, lymphocytes, platelets).
