Prolonged Leptospira Urinary Shedding in a 10-Year-Old Girl

الملخص EN

We present a case of leptospirosis in a previously healthy girl following a trip to Costa Rica.

While she was clinically asymptomatic, she had spirochetes cultured from her urine six weeks following her trip.

Prolonged urinary shedding following infection with Leptospira is possible in humans and often has subtle manifestations in children.
