We report a patient presenting with paraparesis with polyneuropathy who later developed haemorrhagic manifestations and multi-organ involvement and seizures. Diagnostic work-up confirmed the diagnosis of leptospi-rosis. The presentation of paraparesis in combination with Weil's syndrome is rare. However, the development of haemorrhagic manifestations and seizures after initial presentation of paraparesis has not been reported previously. A high index of suspicion is necessary for initiating appropriate diagnostic work-up as it is a treatable condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
