Human leptospirosis: guidance for diagnosis, surveillance and control
Open accessAbstract
Why were these guidelines written?Leptospirosis is a worldwide public health problem.In humid tropical and subtropical areas, where most developing countries are found, it is a greater problem than in those with a temperate climate.The magnitude of the problem in tropical and subtropical regions can be largely attributed to climatic and environmental conditions but also to the great likelihood of contact with a Leptospira-contaminated environment caused by, for example, local agricultural practices and poor housing and waste disposal, all of which give rise to many sources of infection.In countries with temperate climates, in addition to locally acquired leptospirosis, the disease may also be acquired by travellers abroad, and particularly by those visiting the tropics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
