    <abstract locale="en_US">Leptospirosis&#xA0; is&#xA0; a&#xA0; common&#xA0; zoonotic&#xA0; infection&#xA0; in&#xA0; human&#xA0; caused&#xA0; by spirochete Leptospira. The disease is often underdiagnosed because of the difficulties in its clinical diagnosis and lack of suitable confirmatory laboratory tests. In this case report, we describe a case which highlights the importance of considering leptospirosis as the diagnostic possibility with hepatic, renal, and hematologic system involvement particularly where diagnostic support and resource are limited.</abstract>
