Leptospirosis is a globally significant zoonotic infection caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira. It is prevalent in both urban and rural settings, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. The disease can range from mild, flu-like symptoms to severe, life-threatening conditions such as Weil's disease and severe pulmonary hemorrhage syndrome.

Leptospirosis is a significant zoonotic disease with a global impact, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. It poses a major public health challenge due to its diverse clinical manifestations, high mortality rates in severe cases, and difficulties in diagnosis. Advances in molecular research have provided new insights into the disease, but effective public health interventions, including improved sanitation and early diagnosis, are crucial for controlling its spread.
