The Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction in leptospirosis

C Vaughan et al. Postgrad Med J. 1994 Feb.

Abstract

Three patients with leptospirosis whose condition worsened after initiation of antibiotic therapy are reported. Their clinical deterioration appeared to be due to the development of the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction rather than to progression of their underlying infection. Relevant aspects of the management of patients with leptospirosis are discussed.
