我们报告了巴西萨尔瓦多贫民窟出现钩端螺旋体病相关的严重肺出血综合征(SPHS)。虽然主动监测在2003年之前没有发现自发性霍奇金淋巴瘤,但从2003年到2005年共发现了47例;病死率为74%。到2005年,钩端螺旋体病引起的死亡中有55%是由SPHS引起的。
We report the emergence of leptospirosis-associated severe pulmonary hemorrhagic syndrome (SPHS) in slum communities in Salvador, Brazil. Although active surveillance did not identify SPHS before 2003, 47 cases were identified from 2003 through 2005; the case-fatality rate was 74%. By 2005, SPHS caused 55% of the deaths due to leptospirosis.
