“…12 Small numbers of leptospirosis cases marked by severe pulmonary hemorrhage were recognized in China and Singapore by 1970. 13 However, in 1975 a comprehensive clinical review of leptospirosis did not mention pulmonary hemorrhage per se. 9 Since that time there has been growing recognition of severe cases of leptospirosis in which pulmonary hemorrhage is the most prominent and often fatal feature.…”

“…A ocorrência de sintomas pulmonares na leptospirose humana é reconhecida desde a década de 1950 (Silverstein 1953) e para alguns autores o envolvimento pulmonar pode ser a principal manifestação da doença em alguns casos (Poh & Soh 1970, Im et al 1989, Sehgal et al 1995, principalmente na forma de síndrome da angústia respiratória aguda (SARA) (Berendsen et al 1984, Allen et al 1989, Alani et al 1993, Emmanouilides et al 1994, Carvalho & Bethlem 2002, Luks et al 2003, Dolhnikoff et al 2007), entretanto, a maior parte das revisões de literatura sobre SARA sequer trazem leptospirose com causa (Luks et al 2003). Vários são os padrões histológicos que podem ocorrer em um quadro clínico de SARA, mas a lesão alveolar difusa (Ware & Matthay 2000, Patel et al 2004) e a hemorragia alveolar difusa (Im et al 1989, Yersin et al 2000, Patel et al 2004) são os mais frequentemente descritos em humanos com leptospirose.…”
