J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1996 Jul-Aug;20(4):609-12. doi: 10.1097/00004728-199607000-00020.

Abstract

Weil disease is a rare and severe outcome of infection with leptospires. We report the radiographic appearance of this disease in a patient with hepatic, renal, and pulmonary involvement. Imaging findings added significantly to an early correct diagnosis and, thus, to immediate and successful therapy in this critically ill patient.
