Abstract
The incidence of leptospirosis is higher in resource-limited countries after the monsoon when people work in waterlogged areas after floods. Prophylactic doses of doxycycline against leptospirosis are effective but compliance is poor due to drug-induced gastritis. A cheap and effective method of improving drug compliance is presented here.
