10 Leptospirosis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #7: Joint and Muscle Pain
Joint and muscle pain are common symptoms of Leptospira infection, especially in the initial phase of the disease. Muscle pain is typically localized on the calf and lumbar area even though it can affect almost every muscle of the human body.
If a person is fighting an infection, such as leptospirosis, it is normal to have high fever, chills, headaches, nausea, vomiting, as well as a general feeling of being ill. The fever, chills, loss of appetite, and dehydration because of vomiting or diarrhea can make joint pain and muscle pain worse.
