摘要：

Leptospirosis is the most widespread zoonosis in the world. We present an unusual case of leptospirosis in a 44-year-old man with severe thrombocytopenia and transient paraparesis. The diagnosis of leptospirosis was confirmed by blood nested polymerase chain reaction, sero-conversion of Leptospira IgM and the microscopic agglutination test. Nerve conduction studies were suggestive of early polyneuropathy involving the right peroneal nerve and bilateral sural nerves. Peripheral nerve palsy is a potential clinical feature of leptospirosis. Copyright (C) 2011, Taiwan Society of Microbiology. Published by Elsevier Taiwan LLC. All rights reserved.
