Leptospirosis can be a lethal bacterial disease affecting a wide range of mammals including humans. The disease is especially devastating in canines often leading to acute septicemia, nephritis, and hepatitis with poor prognosis if not diagnosed and treated early. In this presentation, we will review the pathobiology of the disease and current diagnostic options to assist participants in diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
