Leptospirosis
●Leptospirosis is an infectious bacterial illness that impacts both humans and animals, resulting from the presence of bacteria belonging to the Leptospira genus. When contracted by humans, it can manifest a diverse array of symptoms, potentially resembling other diseases, and in some cases, infected individuals may not display any symptoms at all.
●If left untreated, Leptospirosis can give rise to severe complications such as kidney impairment, inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord (meningitis), liver failure, respiratory difficulties, and in extreme cases, even mortality.

●The Leptospira Antibody Rapid Test kit is a lateral flow immunoassay designed to simultaneously detect antibodies against Leptospira interrogans (L. interrogans) in human serum, plasma, or whole blood. It is intended for use as a screening test and as an aid in diagnosing L. interrogans infections. Any reactive specimen obtained with the Leptospira Antibody Rapid Test kit should be confirmed using alternative testing method(s).
●Furthermore, the test can be conducted by untrained or minimally skilled personnel, without the need for complex laboratory equipment, and provides results within 15 minutes.
