Is leptospirosis curable and treatable

Answer 1

Yes Leptospirosis is absolutely curable but it is important to start the treatment as soon as possible once the diagnosis has been done. One less advantageous thing is that the entire process is relatively complicated as there are no human vaccines available. Antibiotics such as cefotamine, penicillin are regularly administered to destroy the infection of the blood and later doxycycline is used to eliminate the carrier state of the parasite. The disease often disturbs the hydro electrolytic balance of the body. Detoxification, dialysis and salt water is also administered alongside for serious complications. Often calcium carbonate is given orally as well in cases of lowered serum calcium levels but in order to prescribe it, a prior test of the calcium level is necessary. Since leptospirosis affects individual organs like kidneys, renal tissues, etc, specific treatment is also sometimes included in the entire process. There have been frequent outbreaks of the disease over the years but most of them have been cured successfully.
