What Is Leptospirosis?

9. Diagnosis
As mentioned, a lot of people don’t show any symptoms and, of those that do, they are often only mild. This means that a lot of the time the disease will not be diagnosed at all. If you do start showing certain symptoms, however, then you should speak with your doctor to find out what is causing them.
If you have the disease, or if you have had it in the past, then your body will have produced certain antibodies that will help them fight the bacterium. A blood test will help reveal the presence of the antibodies, letting doctors know that the patient has at least had the disease in the past.
