A case of isolation of Spirochaetae icterogenes in infectious jaundice
One of the causative agents of infectious jaundice, as is known, is sp. icterogenes, or leptospira, discovered by Japanese scientists Inada and Ido in 1915. The spirochete in this disease is detected in the first days, before the appearance of jaundice, in the blood of patients, later and for quite a long time (up to several weeks or more) - in the urine.
To detect spirochetes, using, depending on the period of the disease, blood or urine, they resort either directly to bacterioscopy in a dark field of vision and sowing on appropriate nutrient media (sterile tap water, Ungerman, Uhlenhut, etc.), or to infecting guinea pigs.
