Abstract

Leptospirosis is one of the most common pathogens responsible for life-threatening tropical disease in travelers. We report a case of massive intra-alveolar hemorrhage caused by Leptospira serovar Djasiman in a 38-year-old man returning from Laos, who was cured with antibiotics and salvage treatment with extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation.
