BERDASQUERA CORCHO, Denis; FERNANDEZ MOLINA, Carmen; MARGARITA OBREGON, Ana e GALINDO SANTANA, Belkys. Human leptospirosis in health primary care: guidelines for its prevention and control. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2007, vol.23, n.3. ISSN 0864-2125.
For two last decades it was observed a rise in cases of human leptospirosis frequently associated to natural disasters. In Cuba, this condition has a endemic, epidemic, and seasonal behaviour. Tropical features of our country, climate, orography, natural and artificial fluvial network, extensive agricultural areas, and rainy regimes en determined times of year, have propitiate a increase in case-number of this disease. In present paper a documentary review of this topic was made and we propose a guide for control and prevention of this zoonosis in health primary care, and thus provide to Family Physician with significant components for his daily practice in community.
