Leptospirosis occurred in a 45-year-old man with presumed infection from an exposure to contaminated water at his source of employment. An intensive epidemiological investigation, including serological examination of all family members and pets and cultures on the patient and his family pets (cats and dogs), proved that the leptospiral organism was acquired by the patient's exposure to his dogs. The risk of acquiring infection from dogs that are asymptomatic and vaccinated is emphasized by this report.
一名45岁男性感染钩端螺旋体病，据推测是由于在工作场所接触受污染的水所致。一项深入的流行病学调查，包括对所有家庭成员和宠物进行血清学检查以及对患者及其家养宠物（猫和狗）进行培养，结果证明该患者是通过接触其宠物狗而感染钩端螺旋体的。本报告强调了从无症状且已接种疫苗的狗身上感染疾病的风险。
