Cytokine response signatures in disease progression and development of severe clinical outcomes for leptospirosis.

<h4>Background</h4>The role of the immune response in influencing leptospirosis clinical outcomes is not yet well understood. We hypothesized that acute-phase serum cytokine responses may play a role in disease progression, risk for death, and severe pulmonary hemorrhage syndrome (SPHS)....
