Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection caused by Leptospira bacteria. It is often spread through contact with water or soil contaminated with the urine of infected animals, such as rodents, livestock, or dogs. Symptoms of leptospirosis can vary widely but may include fever, headache, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and jaundice, which is the yellowing of the skin and eyes. In serious cases, it can lead to complications such as kidney failure or liver damage. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, and prevention measures include avoiding contact with contaminated water or soil, wearing protective clothing, and controlling rodents in and around living areas.
