Symptom #10: Shortness of Breath

Patients suffering from leptospirosis may experience shortness of breath at any stage of the disease. Usually, in the early stage, it is associated with the dry chough that may appear in some cases.

On the other hand, if the shortness of breath occurs at a later stage of the disease and it is accompanied by other respiratory symptoms such as chest pain, and coughing out blood; this could be a sign of Weil syndrome, which is a rare and more dangerous form of leptospirosis.
