Among 40 patients diagnosed with leptospirosis in 3 hospitals of western mainland France between 2014 and 2018, half were at least 60 years old and retired. Their exposure factors were mainly rural residential environment with limited remarkable risk factors. Better awareness and information on leptospirosis appear necessary in this population.
2014年至2018年间,在法国大陆西部的3家医院确诊的40例钩端螺旋体病患者中,一半患者年龄至少60岁且已退休。他们的暴露因素主要是农村居住环境,显著风险因素有限。在这一人群中,似乎有必要提高对钩端螺旋体病的认识并提供相关信息。
