Question:
/ A 15yearold woman had acute onset of fever, myalgia, jaundice, and dyspnea that started five days before
admission to a hospital. She reported that rats were common in her neighborhood and that she was exposed to
floodwaters one week prior to symptoms. Past medical history was unremarkable.On physical examination, she
was alert, jaundiced, and lungs were clear to auscultation. Blood counts showed 9,500 leukocytes/mm3 (88%
neutrophils, 10% lymphocytes, and 2% monocytes). The hematocrit was 26% and the platelet count was 46,000
cells/mm3.Shehadthefollowinglaboratorytestvalues:bloodureanitrogen=108mg/dL(referencerange=1050
mg/dL), serum creatinine = 2.6 mg/dL (0.7.5 mg/dL), sodium = 133 mmol/L (135145 mmol/L), potassium = 3.0

(0.21.2 mg/dL), and creatine kinase = 620 U/L (0190 U/L). Alanine aninotransferase and aspartate
aminotransferase levels were normal. Urinalysis showed a protein level of 30 mg/dL (reference range = 30140
mg/dL).Urineoutputwas3.3litersinthefirst24hours.Theresultsofbloodandurineculturesandserologictests
for hepatitis viruses and human immunodeficiency virus were negative. Diagnosis of leptospirosis was
demonstratedbyapositiveIgMenzymelinkedimmunosorbentassayresultonday15ofillness.Thisresultwas
