Leptospirosis with acute liver injury.

John Wysocki¹, Yong Liu¹, Nathan Shores¹.

Abstract

A 61-year-old man with no significant medical history presented with fever, muscle pain, and weakness. He was found to be in multiorgan failure due to leptospirosis, a condition known as Weil's disease. A timely workup, combined with early initiation of antibiotics, led to effective treatment for this patient.
