This study was designed to investigate the role of leptospirae in interstitial nephritis. Sixty-eight white-spotted kidneys and 30 grossly normal kidneys from slaughtered cattle were examined histologically and immunohistochemically for the presence of Leptospira interrogans antigens. The presence of L. interrogans antigens was found in 21 of 68 white-spotted kidneys and in four of 30 normal kidneys. In conclusion, the detected incidence of infection with L. interrogans was not high, but there was a relationship between the presence of interstitial nephritis and leptospiral antigens.
本研究旨在调查钩端螺旋体在间质性肾炎中的作用。对68个来自屠宰牛的白斑肾和30个大体正常的肾脏进行组织学和免疫组织化学检查，以检测问号钩端螺旋体抗原的存在。在68个白斑肾中的21个以及30个正常肾中的4个中发现了问号钩端螺旋体抗原。总之，检测到的问号钩端螺旋体感染发生率不高，但间质性肾炎的存在与钩端螺旋体抗原之间存在关联。
