Validation of the SPiRO score for the prediction of ICU admission in patients presenting with leptospirosis in tropical Australia

2026-07-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objectives</h4> In some resource-limited settings the case-fatality rate of severe leptospirosis can exceed 50%. Early recognition of severe disease can expedite transfer to referral centres for advanced supportive care.
