Abstract:
The diagnosis of leptospirosis depends on specific laboratory tests because nonspecific and diverse clinical manifestations make clinical diagnosis difficult and it is easily confused with other infectious diseases in the tropics. Suitable laboratory diagnostic tests vary depending on the stage of the disease, requiring the combination of diagnostic tests using appropriate specimens at each disease stage.
