The Role of Cytokine Response Signatures in the Pathogenesis of Leptospirosis Associated Acute Kidney Injury
Nattachai Srisawat
Abstract:Background: �Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is one of the most serious complications of leptospirosis, an important zoonosis in the tropics. Host pathogen interaction is one of the potential key factor in development of leptospirosis associated AKI. In this multicenter study, we aimed to study the association of cytokines, leptospiral burden, and anti-leptospira antibody and AKI in leptospirosis.�Method: In the first cohort, patients who presented with clinical suspiciousness of leptospirosis were prospectively enr… Show more
