Which symptom is listed for Leptospirosis?

• A. Bloody diarrhea
• B. Fever
• C. Coughing
• D. Hair loss

Answer: (B)

Fever is the symptom most commonly associated with leptospirosis. This bacterial infection often begins with an abrupt fever and a general feeling of being unwell, reflecting the body’s immune response to the organism after exposure to contaminated water or urine from infected animals. The other options do not fit leptospirosis well: bloody diarrhea is more typical of certain gastrointestinal infections, coughing points to respiratory issues, and hair loss is not a recognized symptom of this disease. So fever best matches the usual clinical presentation of leptospirosis.
