Leptospirosis present with jaundice, acute hepatic failure and renal failure.

Today I encounter a case of 28M noted body weight loss, poor appetite, jaundice, tea-color urine, lab data showed hypoxemia, acute renal failure, acute hepatic failure, prolong PTT, Dimer>2.0, FDP>32. Clinically suspected leptospirosis. Blood culture and pleural effusion had sent for examination but results are pending.
Here are some URLs for leptospirosis:
