\"\"<\/a>Leptospirosis spread by the urine of rats.<\/p>\n

\n

Serious form of leptospirosis, characterized by jaundice and liver and kidney damage.<\/p>\n

\n

An infection or parasitic disease produced by the bacteria Leptospira. Weil disease is a severe form of leptospirosis that is characterized by severe dysfunction of the liver and kidneys. The infection causes excessive bleeding inside the body and is potentially fatal. It is contracted by ingesting or swimming in water contaminated with the infected urine of wild or domestic animals (including rats, cats, and dogs) who shed the bacteria in their urine. The infection is treated with antibiotics.<\/p>\n

\n

Leptospirosis caused by any one of several serotypes of Leptospira interrogans such as L. icterohemorrhagica in rats, L. pomona in swine, or L. canicola in dogs. All of these may be pathogenic for humans.<\/p>\n
