What disease does Leptospira Interrogans cause?

# data[].attributes.body
This pathogen can cause a common disease known as "Leptospirosis".

# data[].attributes.body
Common symptoms of this disease includes fever, headache, muscle ache, chills, diarrhea, and vomiting. These symptoms can be almost identical to the flu, so it is important to try to get it checked out with a doctor if the "flu" doesn't go away after the period of time the normal flu virus would.

Ways to prevent leptospirosis is to avoid touching any kind of water or animalistic environment that could be contaminated with animal urine. This mainly includes swamps or marshes where animals tend to urine a lot in water and soil. If you have came in contact with such an environment, it is important to bathe immediately after you get home.

# data[].attributes.body
Any animal is capable of getting leptospirosis. It is acquired by other animals the same way as everyone else. If an animal comes in contact with contaminated water or soil with infected urine, they could possibly receive Leptospirosis.

Where is the Leptospira Interrogans pathogen most commonly located?

# data[].attributes.body
Leptospira Interrogans can be living in any part of the world. However, it is more common in tropical areas across the globe. Approximately only 10 people out 100,000 are affected every year depending on the temperature climate.

Treatment for Leptospirosis typically includes prescription antibiotics such as penicillin. This is mainly given while the disease is more mild and not as severe. If the disease is treated much later while it has given itself time to worsen, much stronger antibiotics will be used which requires blood work and monitoring.

# data[].attributes.body
The case fatality is luckily low if treatment is recieved, but this greatly also depends on age. The rate may increase up to 20% in patients who end up with kidney damage or jaundice. This can ultimately end in liver or kidney failure which can increase the chances of fatality.

After about one week of flu like symptoms, the symptoms slowly pass as the second phase begins. Next, the liver damage starts to take control if treatment is not received in time. Next, if treatment is still not received, the patient can start to get meningitis and jaundice.
