[Treatment of terminal forms of icterohemorrhagic leptospirosis].

Abstract

Complex therapy, using hemosorption in combination with hemodialysis and hyperbaric oxygenation, was suggested for the treatment of patients with terminal stages of icterohemorrhagic leptospirosis. Such complex therapy decreased the mortality rate of patients with terminal stages of icterohemorrhagic leptospirosis from 76-96% to 18-22% and reduced the in-hospital stay from 60-80 to 35-40 days.
