[Hepatobiliary alternations in leptospirosis convalescents].

AIM: To study hepatic function in leptospirosis convalescents.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

Clinical laboratory and device examinations were performed in 121 leptospirosis convalescents.

RESULTS

The majority of the examinees retained biochemical signs of cholestatic, mesenchymal-inflammatory and moderate cytolytic syndromes secondary to hepatic impairment. Ultrasound and radionuclide investigations detected biliary disorders and secondary chronic hepatitis in many of leptospirosis convalescents.

CONCLUSION

It is shown that leptospirosis rehabilitation must be targeted. Reasons of development of chronic hepatic and biliary lesions in population of the north Caucus and Kuban in the absence of viral hepatitis markers are suggested.
