Abstract

In Kazan, canicola leptospirosis (in 237 patients), leptospirosis rattus (68), icterohemorrhagic leptospirosis (28) and sporadic cases of influenza typhi and leptospirosis pomona have been reported in the last two decades. Among these forms, leptospirosis rattus, called "Kazan leptospirosis" after the place of its description, is less studied. The study of this form of leptospirosis has not only territorial but also general epidemiological significance, as leptospira similar to L. rattus have been found in other areas of the USSR.
