http://www.leptospirosis.org/medical/infection.php "There is no human vaccine licenced for use in Europe, Asia or the USA."

I found this page quite hard to digest as the text comes as a large unbroken chunk. I would suggest adding a table of contents and splitting the page into various chapters (features, diagnosis, treatment) as for example, the meningitis page. --Anon September 07, 2005

I second that. A lot of information is mentioned several times, and it's quite messy. As far as I can make out, is also all correct (I work for the WHO/Royal Dutch Institute Lepto-dept). I'm willing to 'correct' any changes made, if somebody else starts the editing... --Bluuurgh 16:02 Thursday, October 13 2005 (UTC)

I cleaned up the page somewhat, maybe someone can go through and clean up my clean up? --CDN99 15:48, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Medical advice

Regarding the drug dosages you mention, perhaps you should mention where you have obtained these values? Very good article otherwise!
