The traditional concept of immediate antibiotic treatment in suspected leptospirosis seems to be especially important for patients up to day 4 of clinical illness. As immune mechanisms probably play a crucial role in advanced leptospirosis with presumed pulmonary hemorrhages, patients might benefit from corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive agents beside antibiotics.
对于疑似钩端螺旋体病的患者,在临床发病的第4天内进行即时抗生素治疗这一传统观念似乎尤为重要。由于免疫机制可能在伴有推测性肺出血的晚期钩端螺旋体病中起关键作用,除抗生素外,患者可能会从使用皮质类固醇或其他免疫抑制剂中获益。
