Abstract

BACKGROUND: Leptospirosis is a Zoonotic Disease with a global distribution that is caused by pathogenic spirochetes of Leptospira. It has a global spread, but it is more common in warm and tropical regions. In developing countries such as Iran, it is considered as a work-related illness and occurs mostly in farmers, ranchers, slaughterhouse workers, butchers, and fishermen in the warm seasons of the year. The aim of this study was to report the information available at the provincial health center about the clinical features of patients with Leptospirosis in Golestan province, Iran, from 2011 to 2015. METHODS: This cross-sectional descriptive study surveyed all patients with Leptospirosis in Golestan provincial health center from 2011 to 2015. All information was collected by a self-designed checklist that its reliability was approved by three infectious specialists. In case of defective files, patients were contacted. The collected data were analyzed by an epidemiologist via SPSS software. RESULTS: In this study, during the years of 2011 to 2015, 75 cases of Leptospirosis were recorded. 50 cases (66. 6%) were men and 25 (33. 3%) were women. The most common complaint of patients at referral was fever (70 cases, 93. 33%). The most complained problem after fever (93. 33%) was musculoskeletal pain and jaundice reported 57. 33% and 54. 66%, respectively. CONCLUSION: It is important to pay attention to this disease in farmers and villagers, especially in agricultural seasons. Due to the high prevalence, morbidity, and mortality of Leptospirosis, early diagnosis based on common symptoms is important. Healthcare centers in each area are required to recognize common diseases to reduce irreversible complications.
