説明
A 55-year old male farmer who had come into contact with rats while handling straw was examined at our hospital chiefly because of fever and jaundice. Symptoms indicative of acute renal failure were also noted, and the man was hospitalized. After admission, the patient presented with characteristic clinical symptoms such as a 40°C fever accompanied by shaking chills, hyperemic conjunctiva, and calf muscle pain. As the patient had been in contact with rats, Weil's disease was suspected.<br>The patient was immediately given 6 million units of benzylpenicillin potassium (PCG)/day and started on hemodialysis for the acute renal failure. His serum T-Bil was high, rising to 42.7mg/dL, so bilirubin adsorption therapy was conducted two times. Thereafter, the patient's blood test data and general condition gradually improved. On the 21th hospital day, PCG was discontinued, and the total number of hemodialysis sessions was 14. Leptospira was detected in urine culture and the patient was diagnosed as Weil's disease. Early treatment in Weil's disease strongly influences prognosis; a delay in treatment can result in a fatal outcome. Although this patient had severe leptospirosis, it appeared that he followed a favorable course because Weil's disease was suspected at an early stage and appropriate early treatment with antibiotics and hemodialysis, as well as bilirubin adsorption was given.
