Abstract
Severe leptospirosis (Weil’s disease) can give rise to multiorgan failure such as acute renal failure, liver dysfunction, coagulopathy, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary haemorrhage, and myocarditis. Leptospirosis is a biphasic disease characterised by leptospiraemic phase and immunological phase. Although neurological manifestations are rare in leptospirosis, aseptic meningitis, myeloradiculopathy, transverse myelitis, and cerebellar syndrome are well recognised. We report a rare case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in a patient with severe leptospirosis during recovery phase of the illness.
