Leptospirosis Registry - LeptoScope
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Leptospirosis
In brief
Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonotic diseases caused by pathogenic Leptospira spp. Human are accidental hosts, who acquired infections after exposition to animal urine, contaminated water or soil, infected tissue. Incidence of invasive leptospirosis disease causing acute kidney injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), myocarditis, hepatic dysfunction, hemorrhage and multi-organ failure, is globally increasing and there have been frequent outbreak situation throughout the world. Due to increasing outbreak situations and globally chances in species distributions, a worldwide surveillance in epidemiology and species distribution is urgently needed. The objective of the Leptospirosis Registry - LeptoScope is to overcome the lack knowledge on epidemiology, clinical course, prognostic factors and molecular characteristics for invasive leptospirosis disease.
