| Description |
Symptomatic infection may either be the mild anicteric form that accounts for 90% of cases or the more severe icteric form. Both types have a septicemic phase lasting 47 days followed by defervescence for 12 days. Subsequently, an immune phase develops that may last from 430 days. In the septicemic phase, there is widespread dissemination of the leptospires, whereas in the immune phase, circulating antibodies against Leptospires cause organ damage. |
