Leptospira borgpetersenii Details: NCBI 174, gram-negative or unknown [species]

1. Leptospirosis: Leptospira borgpetersenii is one of the causative agents of leptospirosis, a bacterial infection that can range from mild to severe. The disease can manifest in various forms, including Weil's disease, which is severe and potentially life-threatening, as well as mild or asymptomatic cases. Symptoms of leptospirosis may include fever, headache, muscle aches, chills, vomiting, jaundice, and conjunctival suffusion (red eyes). In severe cases, leptospirosis can lead to organ dysfunction, including liver and kidney failure, pulmonary hemorrhage, and meningitis.

2. Zoonotic Transmission: Similar to Leptospira interrogans, Leptospira borgpetersenii is transmitted through direct or indirect contact with infected animals or contaminated environments. The bacteria can infect a wide range of mammalian hosts, including rodents, livestock, dogs, and wildlife. Humans can become infected through contact with urine, blood, or tissues of infected animals, as well as through exposure to contaminated soil, water, or surfaces.

3. Occupational Risk: Certain occupational groups are at higher risk of leptospirosis due to their frequent exposure to contaminated environments or animals. This includes farmers, veterinarians, sewage workers, slaughterhouse workers, and military personnel deployed to endemic areas. Occupational exposure to Leptospira borgpetersenii can occur through contact with animal urine, contaminated water, or soil.

4. Environmental Exposure: Leptospira borgpetersenii can survive in water and moist environments for extended periods, particularly in warm and humid climates. Flooding, heavy rainfall, and natural disasters can increase the risk of exposure to contaminated water sources, leading to outbreaks of leptospirosis in endemic regions. Poor sanitation, urban slums, and overcrowded living conditions can also contribute to environmental transmission.

5. Diagnosis and Treatment: Diagnosis of leptospirosis caused by Leptospira borgpetersenii is similar to that caused by other pathogenic Leptospira species and is based on clinical symptoms, serological tests, and molecular tests. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment with antibiotics, such as doxycycline or penicillin, are essential for reducing the severity and duration of illness. In severe cases, supportive care in a hospital setting may be necessary.

Lab Reporting

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.

Desired Levels Suggestions for Leptospira borgpetersenii

• Frequency - how often do samples show this bacteria
• UD - An alternative statistical algorithm (which factors in the frequency)
• Kaltoft-Moldrup Heuristic Using uploaded data
• Lab Low and High are calculated using the formula that most labs use: Mean - 2 Standard Deviation to Mean + 2 Standard Deviation

These are values that are computed from lab specific samples (Patent Pending)
