Hypokalemic paralysis in leptospirosis.

Abstract

We report a case of flaccid weakness in a 40 year old male farmer who presented to us with fever and bodyache. The patient had leptospirosis with a non- oliguric renal failure and flaccid weakness secondary to hypokalemia which improved following potassium correction and conservative measures.
