| Abstract: | We present here a case report of a suspected leptospiral infection in a Nepali soldier, and the results of a serological survey of 188 residents of Eastern Nepal that indicate the infection may be common there. This is the first report of leptospirosis in Nepal although it is known to affect man and animals in most of the temperate and tropical regions of the world, and apparently occurs widely in India (Das Gupta, 1938; Khanna & Iyer, 1971). |
