title: Weil disease: importance of imaging findings for early diagnosis.
abstract: Weil disease is a rare and severe outcome of infection with leptospires. We report the radiographic appearance of this disease in a patient with hepatic, renal, and pulmonary involvement. Imaging findings added significantly to an early correct diagnosis and, thus, to immediate and successful therapy in this critically ill patient.
