EXCLUSIV | Ce este Leptospira, bacteria care a adus-o pe tânăra din Craiova în stare critică după vacanța la mare. Medicul Tudor Ciuhodaru: „Simptomele sunt asemănătoare cu meningită și encefalită” - WOWbiz.ro

An 18-year-old girl from Craiova is in critical condition due to a severe infection caused by the Leptospira bacteria, which leads to leptospirosis. After returning from a seaside vacation, she exhibited symptoms that initially mimicked meningitis, complicating diagnosis. Medical expert Tudor Ciuhodaru warns that leptospirosis can be fatal if not diagnosed promptly, as it can be contracted through contaminated water or surfaces. Symptoms can mislead even doctors, and severe cases may result in multiple organ failure. Preventive measures include avoiding contact with polluted water and seeking medical attention for symptoms after potential exposure.
