LEPTOSPIROSIS OF T H E GUINEA-PIG

The present study shows that in leptospirosis, endothelium shows changes in mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum in the lung, kidney and diaphragm similar to those described in liver cells. Consequently the endothelial injury is probably mediated by the same injurious agent affecting the body cells as a whole
