Sixty-eight white-spotted kidneys and 30 grossly normal kidneys from slaughtered cattle were examined histologically and immunohistochemically for the presence of Leptospira interrogans antigens. The presence of L interrogans antigens was found in 21 of 68 white-spotted kidneys and in four of 30 normal kidneys. In conclusion, the detected incidence of infection with L interrogans was not high, but there was a relationship between the presence of interstitial nephritis and leptospiral antigens.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle487N/AN/A44144711599681WOS:000171386000006
