Abstract

We have got 42 leptospirosis cases from 1984 to 1989, in a retrospective study. The annual incidence is now, in a very high level (3.8/10,000 pers.). This rapid increasing is function of new diagnostics facilities. The leptospirosis epidemiology is not different from anywhere else in tropical countries, but the complicated cases are an important problem in public health in the island. The actual development of collective hygienic equipment is indispensable for any progress.
