Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease with protean manifestations. A 35-year-old male presented with pneumonia after the Typhoon Morakot. Skin rash, conjunctival suffusion, and subconjunctival hemorrhage led us to the diagnosis of leptospirosis and the microscopic agglutination test confirmed the diagnosis. This patient well demonstrated the picture of conjunctival suffusion and reminded us of the alertness of leptospirosis after a typhoon.
钩端螺旋体病是一种具有多种表现形式的人畜共患疾病。一名 35 岁男性在莫拉克台风后出现肺炎。皮疹、结膜充血和结膜下出血使我们诊断为钩端螺旋体病,而微量凝集试验则证实了这一诊断。该患者很好地展示了结膜充血的情况,这提醒我们在台风后要警惕钩端螺旋体病。
