Contribution to the problem of occupational leptospirosis in Yugoslavia

Josip Fališevac ; Bolnica za zarazne bolesti Zagreb

Sažetak

As a classical instance of occupational Ieptospirosis in this country a focus of this disease is reported, which occurred in a pig-breeding farm. Out of five women working in the farm all contracted the swineherd's disease within 30 days. Other cases of benign and malignant Ieptospiroses with evident occupational etiology are mentioned. They were hospitalized at the Fever Hospital, Zagreb. Short description is provided of the etiology, epidemiology and the clinical features of leptospiroses, and problems of their occupational etiology and their social scope are discussed. Benign leptospiroses and particularly the swineherd's disease represent a fairly important problem in Yugoslav national pathology and social medicine.
