Abstract
We report the first series of indigenous European patients with severe leptospirosis in need of intensive care because of acute respiratory distress syndrome, coma and shock. The all-cause hospital mortality was 16.7%, and may have been influenced by relatively early diagnosis, indicating the need for heightened clinical suspicion in Europe.
Declaration of interest: None for any of the authors.
