Abstract
Background: In August 2006, a case of leptospirosis occurred in an athlete after a triathlon held around
Heidelberg and in the Neckar river. In order to study a possible outbreak and to determine risk factors for infecti
an epidemiological investigation was performed.

3. Environmental drivers of leptospirosis
Although leptospirosis is common and widespread,
there remain significant gaps in our understanding of its
transmission dynamics and of the trigger factors for disease outbreaks. However, epidemiological studies have
identified various environmental risk factors for infection or outbreaks that differ between ecological settings.
A number of these factors are likely to be influenced by
climate change and urbanisation and will be discussed
below.
environmental forces, including sociodemographic factors, climate and
land use.
3.1. Rainfall and flooding
Heavy rainfall and flooding increase the risk of leptospirosis by bringing bacteria and their animal hosts into
closer contact with humans. Numerous outbreaks of leptospirosis have been reported following extreme weather
events around the world, in geographically diverse areas
including India,10,11 Laos,12 Indonesia,13 Italy,14 Brazil,15

353 patients. Persons without formal employment (e.g., unemployed, retired, student, homemaker) accounted for 102
(31%) of 328 cases. Farmers or ranchers (including sugarcane
workers) accounted for 92 cases (28%). Blue-collar workers
(e.g., construction workers, day laborers, carpenters) accounted
for 51 cases (16%). Twelve cases (4%) were in active-duty military personnel.
Information allowing for an exposure “classification” was
possible for 335 (95%) of 353 cases. Occupationally related
exposures were reported for 137 (41%) of 335 cases (e.g., farming, ranching, aquaculture, abattoir, veterinarian); 143 (43%)
of 335 cases were exposed through recreational activities, including freshwater swimming, hiking, camping, and hunting.
Among confirmed cases, 81 (23%) of 353 were diagnosed
by culture isolates from the following clinical specimens: blood
samples, for 66 cases; urine samples, for 6 cases; CSF specimens,
for 2 cases; blood and urine samples, for 1 case; blood and
CSF samples, for 1 case; and an unspecified source, for 5 cases.
The 81 culture-confirmed cases included 48 with diagnostic
MAT results and 33 diagnosed using culture alone. The diagnoses were made using serologic testing without culture confirmation for 270 cases, and 2 cases demonstrated antibodies
to Leptospira species in postmortem tissue specimens by means
of a direct fluorescent antibody test.
Among confirmed cases, the most frequently reported symptoms were fever, myalgia, and headache. Pertinent laboratory
results included evidence of renal abnormalities, hepatic abnormalities, or both in 49%–73% of patients (table 1). Moresevere

The 81 culture-confirmed cases included 48 with diagnostic
MAT results and 33 diagnosed using culture alone. The diagnoses were made using serologic testing without culture confirmation for 270 cases, and 2 cases demonstrated antibodies
to Leptospira species in postmortem tissue specimens by means

Among confirmed cases, the most frequently reported symptoms were fever, myalgia, and headache. Pertinent laboratory
results included evidence of renal abnormalities, hepatic abnormalities, or both in 49%–73% of patients (table 1). Moresevere disease manifestations were associated with infection by
the Icterohemorrhagiae serogroup (table 2). Among 353 confirmed cases during this 25-year interval, 5 patients died (casefatality rate, 1.4%). Increasing age was associated with an increase in leptospirosis related mortality (x2 for linear trend, 5.5;
P p .02).
Initial clinical impressions were recorded for 312 (88%) of
353 patients. The most common initial diagnoses were leptospirosis (193 cases [62%]), influenza (20 cases [6%]), viral
syndrome (19 cases [6%]), hepatitis (19 cases [6%]), fever of
unknown etiology (12 cases [4%]), gastroenteritis (10 cases
[3%]), and meningitis (9 cases [3%]).
An incubation period was estimated for 150 patients for
whom exposure and onset dates were recorded. The incubation
period ranged in duration from 1 to 21 days (median, 8 days).
Information on the duration of illness was obtained from 245
patients and ranged from 2 to 84 days (median, 14 days). A
total of 239 (68%) of 349 patients were hospitalized.

outcome
was moderate
(I
2 = 50%). Only one trial (253 patients) reported days of hospitalisation. It compared parenteral penicillin to placebo without significant
effect of therapy (8.9 versus 8.8 days; mean difference (MD) 0.10 days, 95% CI -0.83 to 1.03). The difference in days of clinical
illness was reported in two of these trials (71 patients). While parenteral penicillin therapy conferred 4.7 to 5.6 days of clinical illness in
contrast to 7.7 to 11.6 days in the placebo arm, the size of the estimate of effect increased but statistical significance was lost under the
random-effect model (fixed-effect: MD -2.13 days, 95% CI -2.46 to -1.80; random-effects: MD -4.04, 95% CI -8.66 to 0.58). I2 for
this outcome was high (81%). When duration of fever alone was assessed between antibiotics and placebo in a single trial (79 patients),
no significant difference existed (6.9 versus 6.6 days; MD 0.30, 95% CI -1.26 to 1.86). Two trials with 332 patients in relatively
severe and possibly late leptospirosis, resulted in trends towards increased dialysis when penicillin was used rather than placebo, but
the estimate of effect was small and did not reach statistical significance (42/163 (25.8%) versus 31/169 (18.4%); OR 1.54, 95% CI
0.91 to 2.60). When one antibiotic was assessed against another antibiotic, there were no statistically significant results. For mortality
in particular, these comparisons included cephalosporin versus penicillin (2 trials, 6/176 (3.4%) versus 9/175 (5.2%); fixed-effect: OR
0.65, 95% CI 0.23 to 1.87, I2 = 16%), doxycycline versus penicillin (1 trial, 2/81 (2.5%) versus 4/89 (4.5); OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.10
to 3.02), cephalosporin versus doxycycline (1 trial, 1/88 (1.1%) versus 2/81 (2.5%); OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.04 to 5.10). There were no
adverse events of therapy which reached statistical significance.

Authors’ conclusions
This is a reprint of a Cochrane review, prepared and maintained by The Cochrane Collaboration and published in The Cochrane Library
2012, Issue 2
http://www.thecochranelibrary.com
Insufficient evidence is available to advocate for or against the use of antibiotics in the therapy for leptospirosis. Among survivors who
were hospitalised for leptospirosis, use of antibiotics for leptospirosis may have decreased the duration of clinical illness by two to four
days, though this result was not statistically significant. When electing to treat with an antibiotic, selection of penicillin, doxycycline, or
cephalosporin does not seem to impact mortality nor duration of fever. The benefit of antibiotic therapy in the treatment of leptospirosis
remains unclear, particularly for severe disease. Further clinical research is needed to include broader panels of therapy tested against
placebo.

PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY
Antibiotics for the treatment of leptospirosis
Leptospirosis is a common disease both in the developed and developing world. It is caused by a bacteria spread by the urine of animals.

reported to the NRC between July 1999 and February 2000, of
whom 22 were excluded from further analysis because they
were either not hospitalized (14 patients), had died (5), resided
outside of France (2), or could not be traced (1). Of the remaining 102 case patients, correctly matched control subjects
were recruited for 90 (88%). Of the 189 control subjects who
were recruited, 20 were excluded because of incorrect matching
of age (11 control subjects), history of hospitalization (5), or
having been hospitalized 11 month before or after the case
patient (4). The matched case-control analysis was performed
tospirosis by univariable analysis were included in the multivariable conditional logistic regression analysis (table 1). Only
4 such variables were independently associated with a case of
leptospirosis (table 1): skin lesions (aOR, 7.01; 95% CI, 2.70–
17.56), canoeing (aOR, 15.53; 95% CI, 1.64–147.00), contact
with wild rodents (aOR, 4.75; 95% CI, 1.39–16.21), and a home
in the countryside (aOR, 2.87; 95% CI, 1.09–7.57). No interaction between having a skin lesion and either canoeing or
contact with wild rodents was reported. The etiologic fraction
in the population demonstrated that nearly two-thirds (65.5%)
