Leptospirose in een pluimveeslachterij

- An epidemic of leptospirosis in a poultry slaughterhouse is described. Leptospirosis with leptospiral jaundice occurred in two employees; a third had leptospirosis with aseptic meningitis. In a fourth employee, serological tests revealed that he had probably had a mild form of leptospirosis earlier. The epidemic occurred during a three-month period. Rats had probably been the source of the infection.
