“…Another problem of serological tests is that they do not represent the real infection, due to the long half-life of antibodies and the fact that they may have remained from the previous infections. Therefore, their presence cannot indicate the current infection and the increase in antibody concentration must be checked, which require two samples with an interval that is also timeconsuming (24). However, due to all the problems that late diagnosis of Leptospirosis creates for patients, including the relatively high mortality rate of the disease, lack of techniques that can detect the infectious disease fast and accurately have kept the field of study and research open in this regard.…”

“…Es una zoonosis de amplia distribución mundial, común en regiones tropicales y sub-tropicales [1][2][3] , y es causa frecuente de enfermedad febril en Perú 4 . Los humanos son infectados usualmente con orina de un hospedero infectado, suelo o agua contaminada, o tejido de un animal infectado.…”

“…En países con áreas tropicales, la población frecuentemente está en riesgo, especialmente donde existe contacto con suelo potencialmente infectado, roedores y otros animales domésticos y clima húmedo. El reservorio más relevante son los roedores 1,3,14 ; sin embargo, se incluye como reservorios una amplia variedad de animales domésticos, entre los que destaca el cerdo 15 , caballo 16 , vacuno [17][18][19] , perro 7,13,20 , oveja 21 , camélidos americanos 22 y animales de zoológico 23,24 . Se considera a la leptospirosis una enfermedad primariamente ocupacional y ha sido asociada con actividades como el trabajo en aguas residuales, ganaderos, agricultores, médicos veterinarios y mineros 1,12,25 .…”

“…La leptospirosis es una zoonosis de impacto global en la salud pública, con cerca de 500 000 casos anuales y un rango de mortalidad de 5 a 20% (Dupouey et al, 2013). La enfermedad se encuentra asociada a poblaciones con deficiencias sanitarias, especialmente en regiones tropicales (Adler y De la Pena Moctezuma, 2010; Evangelista y Cobum, 2010; Picardeu, 2013).…”
