Cuba Produces Vaccine against Leptospirosis
The vaccine, called Vax-SPIRAL, was first administered during mass clinical trials in 1996, and has been administered gradually to risk groups.

Experts recommend its administration to people at risk of getting the disease, including sewer workers, miners, veterinarians, animal breeders, slaughterhouse workers, apiculturists and army people.

It is very important to start treating patients as soon as the first symptoms of the disease appear, as it is the best way to guarantee a complete cure and prevent death, the experts pointed out.

In that regard, they added that symptoms are fever, shivers, headache, great muscular sensitiveness, as well as skin hemorrhage, kidney failure, meningitis, and yellow skin and mucus, in the most serious cases.
