Results: Serological data showed that prevalence of LEPTOSPIROSIS was 29.4% .There is no relation between sex and positive serological results (54.8% women & 54.18% men). Conclusion: LEPTOSPIROSIS in studied area is epidemic and due to its high morbidity, mortality and economical impact,heath education to people would help to control the disease and chemoprophylaxis can also be used.
