LEPTOSPIROSIS SPECIALIST IN MUMBAI
Leptospirosis is a widespread and prevalent disease, caused by pathogenic organisms of the genus Leptospira. Various mammals are natural hosts; humans are infected incidentally after animal or environmental exposure.

The human infection usually results from exposure to environmental sources, such as animal urine, contaminated water or soil, or infected animal tissue. The portals of entry include cuts or abraded skin, mucous membranes, or conjunctivae.

The infection may rarely be acquired by ingestion of food contaminated with urine or via aerosols. Leptospirosis is often associated with increased rainfall or flooding, which presumably increased the risk of exposure to contaminated water. One of the important risk factor is living in rodent infested, flood – prone , overcrowded urban areas.

The clinical course is variable. Most cases are mild and self – limited or subclinical, while some are severe and potentially fatal. The prompt consultation with a specialist is paramount. The illness generally presents with the abrupt onset of fever, rigors, myalgias, and headache. The presence of conjunctival suffusion, characterized by conjunctival redness, is an important sign.
