Leptospirosis Nervous System Performance

Leptospirosis, referred to as leptospirosis, is an acute infectious disease of natural epidemic origin caused by various serotypes of pathogenic Leptospira. Commonly known as threshing yellow or rice blast. Its clinical features are high fever, general soreness, fatigue, conjunctival membrane congestion, lymphadenopathy, and significant gastrocnemius pain. Severe cases may be complicated by pulmonary hemorrhage, jaundice, meningoencephalitis, and renal failure. As a result of vigorous prevention work, various leptospirosis manifested by pulmonary hemorrhage, liver and kidney failure have been reduced, but cerebral arteritis and polyradiculitis are not uncommon after Leptospira infection. In severe cases, cerebral edema may occur and cerebral hernia may cause respiratory failure. Nervous system comorbidities are more common, with mononeuritis, polyneuritis, radiculitis, and cerebral nerve palsy being the main symptoms in the early stage. Cerebrovascular disease is more common in the late complications. The main clinical manifestations are ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Patients often experience symptoms such as hemiplegia and aphasia 1 to 5 months after the symptoms of the acute phase disappear. Repeated changes are one of its clinical characteristics.
