Abstract
La leptospirosis es una enfermedad aguda y febril causada por una bacteria del género Leptospira que comprende sobre todo a los animales salvajes y domésticos. El hombre se contamina en forma accidental por el contacto con orina o tejidos de animales infectados y presenta cuadros clínicos variables que van desde infecciones inaparentes, meningitis aséptica, hasta formas severas como el síndrome de Weil. La penicilina sigue siendo la droga de elección.
