Leptospirosis, notably Weil's syndrome, is an often severe, acute febrile illness caused by microorganisms of the genus Leptospira. The microscopic agglutination test (MAT) is the basic method for the sero-diagnosis of leptospirosis, as the test has a high sensitivity and can be used for classification, but has some disadvantages. Therefore, we have explored latex agglutination test (LAT) for use as a practical and rapid for sero-diagnosis of human leptospirosis and compared the applicability of commercial tests MAT and LAT in the detection of specific antibodies against Leptospira interrogans in human.
