摘要
We report the first two cases of leptospirosis in French travelers returning from Koh Samui, a famous tourist island in Thailand, in September 2014 and March 2015. The first patient developed a severe form of the disease including hemodynamic instability, interstitial pneumonia, rhabdomyolysis with renal impairment, and deep thrombocytopenia. The second patient had a milder disease, with severe muscle pain, jaundice, and renal impairment. The two patients reported bathing in fresh water in Namuang waterfall.
