SUMMARYTwo global (re-)emerging zoonoses, leptospirosis and hantavirus infections, are clinically indistinguishable. Thirty-one patients, hospitalized in Sri Lanka for acute severe leptospirosis, were after exclusion of other potentially involved pathogens, prospectively screened with IgM ELISA for both pathogens. Of these, nine (29·0%) were positive for leptospirosis only, one (3·2%) for hantavirus only, seven (22·5%) for both pathogens concomitantly, whereas 13 (41·9%) remained negative for both. Moreover, in a retrospective study of 23 former patients, serologically confirmed for past leptospirosis, six (26·0%) were also positive in two different IgG ELISA hantavirus formats. Surprisingly, European Puumala hantavirus (PUUV) results were constantly higher, although statistically not significantly different, than Asian Hantaan virus (HTNV), suggesting an unexplained cross-reaction, since PUUV is considered absent throughout Asia. Moreover, RT–PCR on all hantavirus IgM ELISA positives was negative. Concomitant leptospirosis-hantavirus infections are probably heavily underestimated worldwide, compromising epidemiological data, therapeutical decisions, and clinical outcome.

Background: Leptospirosis [LP] is zoonotic diseases and one of the main communicable diseases in Sri Lanka [SL]. SL is a tropical country in the Indian Ocean with favorable environmental and geographical conditions for dispersion of the LP infection. The aim of the study was to determine the pattern of distribution with possible environmental conditions/factors contributing to the LP in SL.Methods: The study was carried out as retrospective study from 2009-14 throughout the all 25 administrative districts in SL.Results: The multiple regression was performed to investigate any associations between the prevalence of LP and independent variable parameters namely, annual rainfall, average humidity, area of paddy lands and annual flood data. The results revealed that factors affecting prevalence of the LP in Sri Lanka can’t be investigated in toto. Seasonal analysis is needed in the wet and dry zones corresponding to the main Yala and Maha agricultural seasons. Annual rainfall is mainly associated with the prevalence of LP in the wet zone while agricultural environment associated with the prevalence of LP in the dry zone (p<0.05). Furthermore, geographical distribution, high annual water discharge and low precipitation of the river water provides favorable environment for dispersion of LP in the wet zone whilst large reservoirs with highly functioning cascades correlated in the dry zone in SL.Conclusions: It is concluded that pattern of distribution with possible environmental conditions/factors contributing to the LP in SL is vary in the wet and dry zones.
