Human Leptospirosis
Human leptospirosis can be a difficult condition to describe, as the symptoms can vary dramatically between patients. Some symptoms are extremely common, but only a few number of will experience the serious life-threatening sickness known as Weil's disease. The severity of the infection depends on the age and overall health of the patient, plus the strain of bacteria involved and the number of bacteria that entered the individual's body.
The infection is usually wide spread (affecting the whole body) and causes a sudden fever. In mild cases it lasts a few days, following a pattern similar to flu but often in two stages – a interval of sickness long-lasting a few days, then a slight recovery, then a second period of sickness. In mild cases the second phase lasts a few months and the affected person rejuvenates, but in severe types the illness develops and progresses rapidly, leading to body organ failing and often loss of life if not handled with involvement and support.
Incubation Time
From time you were infected with the viruses, there is a period where it has to reproduce enough to cause illness – known as the "incubation time". With human leptospirosis this is generally 3 to 21 days, with most patients creating sickness after about 3 to 14 days. It does not usually take more than 28 days, but in rare situations very long incubation periods have been reported. It generally cannot show sickness in less than 24 hours unless the number of viruses taken into the bloodstream was massively larger than regular.
First Stage
Leptospirosis starts suddenly, with a serious frustration, redness in the eyes, muscular pains, fatigue and nausea and a high temperature. There is sometimes a red non-blanching pinprick allergy on the skin, just like that seen in meningitis. Young children can be tired or distressed and may show an aversion to bright light. The serious frustration is almost always present and can be incapacitating. Nausea may or may not cause vomiting. Muscle pains can be excessive and are often particularly bad in the leg and back areas-muscles will be sore to move and to touch. A rapid pulse is also typical in the first few days.
Second Stage
In many mild situations this doesn't happen at all, but where the infection is more severe, the patient enters into a second stage of illness after a few days of apparent recovery. The intial symptoms and high temperature return, with chest area and stomach pain, some kidney problems and emotional changes. Increased symptoms of meningitis are often seen with neck stiffness and vomiting, but in most mild cases the patient will not suffer kidney or liver failure and will gradually restore. There may be a sore throat and dry cough with a little blood. With treatment, gentle situations will recover within a few weeks.
Recovery
Patients with mild infections recover quite quickly, so are usually feeling OK after a week, but they can suffer from fatigue and depression disorders for a while and may be at risk from chronic infection. Patients with the more severe infections can take a few several weeks to recover.
Conclusion
Finally Human leptospirosis is a zoonosis of worldwide distribution, native to the island mainly in countries with humid subtropical or exotic environment. And now you want to know more about the Human leptospirosis you can visit the Peer Review Journals in that you can view whatever steps taken.
