Gerasymchuk L et al. - The authors present a case of fulminant leptospirosis that was acquired in the suburban area by a 48-year-old male renal transplant recipient. He developed acute renal and hepatic failure with profound jaundice. Spirochetes were identified on liver biopsy. Weil's disease was suspected, and the diagnosis was further supported by a positive serum Leptospira interrogans icterohaemorrhagiae antibody titer.
