In Response To: Colonic Spirochetosis in a 60-Year-Old Immunocompetent Patient: Case Report and Review. (CrystalRiver)

Dear RM Agents and Readers,

Check this out; maybe they crossed spirochetes as they are from the same family and just maybe the spread from person to person got upped exponentially:

Leptospirosis is not spread from person to person, except in vary rare cases. It occasionally spreads through sexual intercourse, breast milk, or from a mother to her unborn child.

Leptospirosis


Leptospirosis
Email this page to a friend Print Facebook Twitter Bookmark & Share

Leptospirosis is an infection that occurs when you come in contact with Leptospira bacteria.
Causes

The Leptospira bacteria can be found in fresh water that has been contaminated by animal urine. The infection occurs in warmer climates.

Leptospirosis is not spread from person to person, except in vary rare cases. It occasionally spreads through sexual intercourse, breast milk, or from a mother to her unborn child.

Risk factors include:

Occupational exposure -- farmers, ranchers, slaughterhouse workers, trappers, veterinarians, loggers, sewer workers, rice field workers, and military personnel

Recreational activities -- fresh water swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and trail biking in warm areas

Household exposure -- pet dogs, domesticated livestock, rainwater catchment systems, and infected rodents

Leptospirosis is rare in the continental United States. Hawaii has the highest number of cases in the United States.
Symptoms

Symptoms can take 2 to 26 days (average 10 days) to develop, and may include:

Dry cough

Fever

Headache

Muscle pain

Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea

Shaking chills

Less common symptoms include:

Abdominal pain

Abnormal lung sounds

Bone pain

Conjunctivitis

Enlarged lymph glands

Enlarged spleen or liver

Joint aches

Muscle rigidity

Muscle tenderness

Skin rash

Sore throat

Exams and Tests

The blood is tested for antibodies to the bacteria.

Other tests that may be done:

Complete blood count (CBC)

Creatine kinase

Liver enzymes

Urinalysis

Treatment

Medications to treat leptospirosis include:

Ampicillin

Azithromycin

Ceftriaxone

Doxycycline

Penicillin

Complicated or serious cases may need supportive care or treatment in a hospital intensive care unit (ICU).
Outlook (Prognosis)

The outlook is generally good. However, a complicated case can be life threatening if it is not treated promptly.
Possible Complications

Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction when penicillin is given

Meningitis

Severe bleeding

When to Contact a Medical Professional

Contact your health care provider if you have any symptoms of, or risk factors for, leptospirosis.
Prevention

Avoid areas of stagnant water, especially in tropical climates. If you are exposed to a high risk area, taking doxycycline or amoxicillin may decrease your risk of developing this disease.
Alternative Names

Weil disease; Icterohemorrhagic fever; Swineherd's disease; Rice-field fever; Cane-cutter fever; Swamp fever; Mud fever; Hemorrhagic jaundice; Stuttgart disease; Canicola fever
