First publication in the CLINF Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.
A group of Russian collaborators together with CLINF coordinator Birgitta Evengård describes a lethal case of leptospirosis. At the same time they developed alternative ways of diagnosing this emerging infection, which can facilitate less demanding and fewer false negative case identification.
