[Clinicomorphological characteristics of icterohemorrhagic leptospirosis].
Thirty three cases of death from icterohemorrhagic leptospirosis were clinically and morphologically analyzed. The disease is characterized by the affliction of two major target organs: the kidney and liver. Infectious-toxic shock underlies the pathogenesis of specific fetal complications of icterohemorrhagic leptospirosis. In the latter, acute renal-hepatic failure is always followed by the structural damage and dysfunction of other organs, which are less pronounced and, at the same time, presents multiple organ dysfunction.
