Human leptospirosis trends: northeast Thailand, 2001-2012.
[scrub typhus]
The
objective
of
this
study
was
to
determine
the
changing
trend
of
leptospirosis
over
time
in
Thailand
using
two
prospective
hospital-based
studies
conducted
amongst
adult
patients
with
acute
undifferentiated
fever
(
AUFI
)
admitted
to
Maharat
Nakhon
Ratchasima
Hospital
,
Nakhon
Ratchasima
Province
,
Thailand
between
July
2001
to
December
2002
and
between
July
2011
to
December
2012
.
During
the
first
period
,
leptospirosis
(
98
patients
,
40
%
)
and
scrub
typhus
(
59
patients
,
24
.
1
%
)
were
the
two
major
causes
of
AUFI
.
In
the
second
period
,
scrub
typhus
(
137
patients
,
28
.
3
%
)
was
found
to
be
more
common
than
leptospirosis
(
61
patients
,
12
.
7
%
)
.
Amongst
patients
with
leptospirosis
,
the
proportion
of
male
patients
and
the
median
age
were
similar
.
Leptospira
interrogans
serogroup
Autumnalis
was
the
major
infecting
serogroup
in
both
study
periods
.
The
case
fatality
rate
of
leptospirosis
was
significantly
higher
in
2011
-
2012
as
compared
with
the
case
fatality
rate
in
2001
-
2002
(
19
.
7
%
vs
.
6
.
3
%
,
p
<
0
.
001
)
.
In
summary
,
we
found
that
number
of
leptospirosis
cases
had
decreased
over
time
.
This
trend
is
similar
to
reportable
data
for
leptospirosis
complied
from
passive
surveillance
by
the
Ministry
of
Public
Health
,
Thailand
.
However
,
the
case
fatality
rate
of
severe
leptospirosis
has
increased
.
Severe
lung
hemorrhage
associated
with
leptospirosis
remained
the
major
cause
of
death
.
