摘要
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic bacterial disease caused by infection of spirochetes of the genus Lep-tospira. While typically self-limiting and non-fatal, severe manifestations can arise, including various neurological complications that are often overlooked. This case study presents a 59-year -old man with serologically positive Leptospirosis, who subsequently developed asymmetrical progressive leg weakness, severe back pain, and overflow incontinence suggestive of mono -neuritis multiplex. Doxycycline treatment was started and intended to last for seven days. The patient had ongoing paraparesis, but all other problems were disappeared. The present case emphasizes the significance of identifying and treating neurological problems brought on by leptospirosis. To improve suitable treatment plans and patient outcomes, more research on these problems is necessary.
