Weil's disease has poor outcome in severe cases: Leptospirosis( Weil's disesase) is a zoonotic
condition which occurs due to the entry of spirochetes called leptospira. Transmission occurs by direct contact with the body fluid
of an acutely infected animal or by exposure to soil or fresh water
contaminated with the urine of an animal that is a chronic carrier. The
prognosis for patients with mild infection is very good. More severe have a
much poorer outcome. Extremes of age can result in more significant disease.
The relatively poor resilience of elderly people produces a high mortality from
Weil disease. Leptospirosis can be misdiagnosed as enteric fever, encephalitis
or HIV infection. Government officials, public health workers, and health care

until adequate resolution of organ failure and clinical infection occurs....read more »

Facts About the Cornea and Corneal Disease: NEI (Excerpt)
This term
describes a group of diseases that cause swelling, itching,
burning, and redness of the conjunctiva, the protective membrane
that lines the eyelids and covers exposed areas of the sclera, or
white of the eye. Conjunctivitis can spread from one person to
another and affects millions of Americans at any given time.
Conjunctivitis can be caused by a bacterial or viral infection,
allergy, environmental irritants, a contact lens product,
eyedrops, or eye ointments. (Source: excerpt from Facts About the Cornea and Corneal Disease: NEI)
