Abstract
A leptospire was isolated from thoracic fluid, aqueous humour, and kidney of a cat, which at gross post‐mortem had widespread haemorrhages and excess straw‐coloured fluid in the thoracic and peritoneal cavities.Histopathological examinations revealed severe centrilobular necrosis of the liver, and vascular lesions with haemorrhage were present in lung and brain.Spirochaetes were demonstrable in lung, kidney and brain by silver impregnation techniques.Strong fluorescence was observed in lung, liver, brain and kidney with bratislava antiserum.Keywords
