title: Fatal disease mimicking leptospirosis in a dog, caused by Aeromonas hydrophila.
abstract: A dog was treated for leptospirosis on clinical and epidemiological arguments. The amoxicillin treatment was not successful. Pure culture of Aeromonas hydrophila was then obtained from liver and kidney, indicating that the septicemia was due to this bacteria commonly found in waters.
