Abstract
Leptospires, the etiological agent of leptospirosis, are aggressive ubiquitous bacteria with a worldwide distribution, causing a spectrum of disease ranging from a mild influenza like illness to Weil's disease which manifests itself in multi organ failure. Studies delineating host responses to these bacteria are limited as is the current understanding of the pathology engendered by these pathogens. The overarching aim of this thesis is to explore and delineate targeted host responses in patients with leptospirosis.
