Abstract

A new outbreak of leptospirosis which occurred in 1970 among the population of Recife, after severe floods, was studied. Ninety nine out of 102 cases registered were
confirrned by sero-agglutinadon test, one by necropsy and 2 by hemoculture. The predorninant causal agent was Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae (88 .cases), followed by L. canicola (6 cases) and L. grippotyphosa (5 cases). One strain of L. grippotyphosa was isolated by hemoculture, for first time in Brazil.
