Intracranial hemorrhage is a rare and fatal presentation of leptospirosis. In this paper we present the case of a 51-year-old male farmer who lives in northern Iran. He came to our hospital with a severe headache. A paraclinical evaluation showed clear signs of thrombocytopenia, and a brain MRI revealed left temporoparietal hemorrhage. Our preliminary diagnosis was Leptospirosis, and after 26 days of hospital care the patient was discharged in good condition. This paper will educationally help physicians in better diagnosis and treatment of leptospirosis.
颅内出血是钩端螺旋体病一种罕见且致命的表现形式。在本文中，我们报告了一名居住在伊朗北部的51岁男性农民的病例。他因剧烈头痛前来我院就诊。辅助检查显示有明显的血小板减少迹象，脑部磁共振成像（MRI）显示左颞顶叶出血。我们的初步诊断为钩端螺旋体病，经过26天的住院治疗，患者康复出院。本文将有助于医生更好地诊断和治疗钩端螺旋体病。
