Abstract
Leptospirosis is an uncommon zoonosis. As a systemic infectious disease, leptospirosis usually is characterized by multisystem involvement. Pulmonary involvement with leptospirosis often is manifested by respiratory symptoms, but pneumonia commonly is not a prominent clinical manifestation of the illness. We report a case of fulminant leptospiral pneumonia in which pulmonary manifestations were primary clinical features of the illness.
