Dr. Christopher Lee will present "Leptospirosis: Prevalence, Updates, Cases. From the Ivory Tower to the Urine-Stained Trenches of the Hospital". This presentation will review the updated information on the prevalence and incidence of leptospirosis in the US; provide an update on the September 2023 ACVIM consensus statement on leptospirosis in dogs; and walk the audience through the ACVIM-defined case definitions. The presenter will discuss real cases that focus on the potential conundrum of possible leptospirosis cases and realistic clinical approaches. See how one hospital has seen a tenfold increase its positive leptospirosis cases and how it approaches these patients.
