Abstract EN

Intracranial hemorrhage is a rare and fatal presentation of leptospirosis.

In this paper we present the case of a 51-year-old male farmer who lives in northern Iran.

He came to our hospital with a severe headache.

A paraclinical evaluation showed clear signs of thrombocytopenia, and a brain MRI revealed left temporoparietal hemorrhage.

Our preliminary diagnosis was Leptospirosis, and after 26 days of hospital care the patient was discharged in good condition.

This paper will educationally help physicians in better diagnosis and treatment of leptospirosis.
