A concomitant infection of leptospirosis and filariasis

Abstract

Leptospirosis is a bacterial zoonosis & filariasis is a tropical disease. The causative agent of leptospirosis can be detected in blood, CSF, and urine depending upon the disease progression, while microfilariae are detected in peripheral blood, generally collected during the night. Both diseases are of significant concern as they can lead to serious conditions if untreated at the right time. Here we reported a case of a patient with leptospirosis & filariasis.
