Possible clinical abnormalities associated with leptospirosis[15,24,34]

Altered cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cell count (usually less than 500/mm) with Polumorpho-nuclear cells seen early in disease and mononuclear cells are seen during late infection.
Altered CSF protein levels: Less than 40 mg/dl (normal) to 300 mg/dl
Normal CSF glucose
Non-specific ECG changes
Highly elevated serum creatinine phosphokinase (CK) and MB variant
Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (60 mm)
Normal or reduced serum potassium
Elevated serum bilirubin levels
Elevated serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase and alkaline phosphatase
Possible elevated serum amylase
Low to normal erythrocyte count and hemoglobin
Thrombocytopenia
Possible elevated prothrombin times
Leukocytosis with increased neutrophils
Elevated creatinine phosphokinase and blood urea nitrogen: Less than 100 mg/dL (typically) to above 300mg/dl (rarely)
Patchy alveolar pattern in the peripheral portions of the lower lung lobes due to alveolar hemorrhage
Azotemia and oliguria/anuria typically during the second week of illness
Proteinuria
Hyaline or granular casts
Hematuria
Pyuria
