Leptospiral meningitis, which is an important feature of anicteric leptospirosis, is generally underdiagnosed. Serological tests are not very useful in diagnosis of leptospiral meningitis. Early detection by molecular tests such as PCR and prompt institution of therapy would be life-saving.
钩端螺旋体性脑膜炎是无黄疸型钩端螺旋体病的一个重要特征,通常诊断不足。血清学检测在钩端螺旋体性脑膜炎的诊断中作用不大。通过PCR等分子检测早期发现并及时进行治疗可挽救生命。
