Comparative study of clinical and biochemical parameters in leptospirosis and dengue

摘要

Background: Leptospira and dengue can affect many different human tissues, producing a wide array of clinical manifestations, ranging from a mild undifferentiated febrile illness to severe multi-organ failure and death especially in tropical countries. Early differentiation between both the diseases is necessary since management of either condition varies considerably. Study was undertaken to compare clinical and laboratory parameters of dengue and leptospirosis and to identify parameters for early differentiation.
