Prevalence of infection caused by pathogenic leptospires ranges from 1 to 100 per 100000 inhabitants. Leptospirosis can manifest itself asa mild flu-like illness associated with sudden fever, headache and myalgia. In 90% of cases, anicteric forms of the disease develop and in the remaining 10% of cases severe icteric course of infection is seen. More than 500000 cases of severe leptospirosis are described annually with mortality from 5 to 15%.
