dc.description.abstractLeptospirosis is a bacterial zoonosis that is endemic in many tropical and subtropical regions. The disease is transmitted to humans by contact with the urine or an environment contaminated with the urine of infected animals. The clinical manifestations of leptospirosis vary from subclinical infection to severe illness with multiorgan dysfunction. This case report aimed to present a leptospirosis case diagnosed with detailed anamnesis and progressed with long-term elevation in liver function tests, in a non-endemic region. A 28-year-old male patient was admitted with complaints of weakness, fever, and vomiting. As a result of the detailed anamnesis, it was learned that the patient with hyperbilirubinemia, elevated liver enzymes, and kidney failure had contact with polluted water in a rural area, and the patient was followed up with a preliminary diagnosis of leptospirosis. Leptospirosis may present with different clinical presentations and be confused with many diseases, risk factors should be carefully questioned.
