Experiements with an inactivated hepatitis leptospirosis vaccine in vaccination programmes for dogs.

A fluid adjuvanted vaccine consisting of inactivated hepatitis virus (iH) and leptospirae antigens (L) was developed. The vaccine (Kavak iHL; Duphar) was tested in several vaccination programmes both alone and in combination with freeze dried measles (M) or distemper (D) vaccines. The results demonstrate that this new vaccine is also effective in pups with maternally derived antibodies, although a second vaccination at 14 weeks of age is recommended to boost the first vaccination. For the booster vaccination either the iHL-vaccine or the liver attenuated hepatitis vaccine (H) can be used.

Leptospiral pneumonia.

Leptospirosis is an uncommon zoonosis. As a systemic infectious disease, leptospirosis usually is characterized by multisystem involvement. Pulmonary involvement with leptospirosis often is manifested by respiratory symptoms, but pneumonia commonly is not a prominent clinical manifestation of the illness. We report a case of fulminant leptospiral pneumonia in which pulmonary manifestations were primary clinical features of the illness.

[An immunoenzyme test (ELISA) for the detection of circulating class-IgA antibodies in human leptospirosis].

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA was evaluated for the detection of IgA antibodies in the human leptospirosis. The assay proved to be sensitive and specific when compared with the ELISA-IgM, in the examined serum samples. The results found suggest that IgA antibodies became positive later in leptospirosis, and will can be an evolutive indicator in the development of the disease.

[Pulmonary compromise in leptospirosis].

To study the pulmonary complications in leptospirosis case records of 23 such patients admitted at the Hospital Universitário Antônio Pedro, Universidade Federal Fluminense, Niterói, Brasil, were reviewed. Hemoptysis were seen in 21.7% and sputal blood in 30.4% of patients. Arterial gasometry detected hypoxemia and hypocapnia in most cases. Thoracic radiology showed an alveolar pattern in 60% of the patients, alveolo-interstitial in 20%, interstitial in 6%, and in 14% the lungs were considered to be normal. Necropsy of 13 cases showed edema, congestion and hemorrhage in the lungs in all cases. Hyaline membrane was found in 30% and fibrin thrombi in 46% of these cases, resulting in a diagnosis of adult respiratory distress syndrome and acute disseminated intravascular coagulation (consumption coagulopathy) in leptospirosis.

Human leptospirosis.

Human leptospirosis is a subject of increasing interest. Although this disease was frequently associated with individuals whose occupation or geographic location placed them in close proximity to wild animals or farm animals, recent cases have been particularly prevalent in young children and adolescents in urban and suburban America. Many of the recent cases have been acquired from household pets, particularly from dogs or hamsters. In particular, healthy dogs who have been immunized with leptospiral organisms, thereby creating a significant risk for their owners. This article will review the pathophysiology, clincal manifestations, laboratory diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of leptospirosis in the modern era, with particular emphasis on a more complete understanding of the epidemiology of this disorder.
