Abstract

Leptospirosis is a commonly encountered type of zoonosis throughout the world. This infection is especially more common in tropical regions. There is insufficient data about its frequency in our country. Though leptospirosis presents with a mild icteric form in nearly 90% of cases, it leads to Weil's disease characterized by fever, jaundice, tendency to bleeding and fulminant hepatorenal failure in approximately 10% of infected persons. Herein we report a case of Weil's disease, presenting with acute renal failure, jaundice and thrombocytopenia.

Özet

Leptospirozis dünyada sık görülen bir zoonozdur. Özellikle tropikal bölgelerde daha sık görülmektedir. Ülkemizde görülme sıklığı konusunda yeterli veri bulunmamaktadır. Leptospirozisli hastaların %90'ında hafif sarılıksız form görülürken hastaların yaklaşık % 5-10'unda ateş, sarılık, kanamaya eğilim ve fulminan hepatorenal yetmezlikle seyreden ve Weil hastalığı olarak adlandırılan şiddetli formda görülür. Biz bu olgumuzda direk hiperbilirubinemi, akut böbrek yetmezliği, trombositopeni ile başvuran ve Weil hastalığı tanısı alan hastamızı sunduk.
