Abstract
A clinical entity similar to Weil''s disease exists in Palestine and has been shown by serological tests to be a leptospirosis due to L. bovis, not to L. ictero-haemorrhagiae or L. canicola as at first diagnosed. 17 case histories of this disease entity are analyzed. All patients were connected with the handling of cattle and the disease should be considered as an occupational hazard and control measures initiated.Keywords
