Leptospiroza bağlı akut böbrek yetmezliği ve soğuk aglütinin hastalığ

Leptospirosis, enfeksiyonlu hayvanların idrar yoluyla bulaşan bir zoonozdur. Leptospiroz; solunum, renal, hepatik ve hematolojik komplikasyonlar ile ilişkili olabilir ve tedavi edilmediğinde yüksek mortalite riski taşır. Bu yazıda leptospirozise bağlı akut böbrek yetmezliği, akut hepatit, hiperbilirubinemi ve soğuk aglutinin hastalığı gelişen nadir bir vaka sunulmuştur. ..

Acute renal failure and cold agglutinin disease due to leptospirosis

Leptospirosis is a zoonosis transmitted through the urine of infected animals. Leptospira can be associated with respiratory, renal, hepatic and hematological complications and most importantly carries a high mortality when untreated. We present a rare cause of acute renal failure, acute hepatitis, hyperbilirubinemia and cold agglutinin disease occurring simultaneously with leptospirosis.
