Clinical characterization of patients with severe leptospirosis in a tertiary hospital in Cali, Colombia, 2010-2016
Conclusions: There is a risk of leptospira infections having a late diagnosis given their unspecific clinical presentation, which generates a high number of differential diagnoses. The early management in the intensive care unit could decrease the incidence of complications and the mortality of patients with leptospirosis.
