A Rare Cause of Hyponatremia and Acute Kidney Injury: Leptospirosis

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic infection, caused by Leptospira interrogans. Clinical presentation may varyfrom asymptomatic infection to Weil disease characterized by multiple organ failure. We described a22-year-old case who had renal, hepatic and pulmonary involvement with leptospirosis. He presentedwith hyponatremia and recovered by the treatment with penicillin G. We emphasized that earlydiagnosis and management will be life saving.
