BACKGROUND Leptospirosis is a rare cause of alveolar haemorrhage. The diagnosis is often delayed particularly when the mode of infection is atypical. These serious complications require prompt antibiotic treatment. METHODS A 21-year-old man was involved in a road accident and found lying unconscious in a roadside ditch containing stagnant water. Ten days later he presented with bilateral interstitial pneumonia and rapidly increasing hypoxaemia associated with cholestasis and liver cell necrosis. Broncho-alveolar lavage revealed alveolar haemorrhage. There was satisfactory resolution following antibiotic therapy. CONCLUSIONS The diagnosis of leptospirosis was considered initially despite negative serology (Martin and Petit) and confirmed by sero-conversion 20 days after the onset of symptoms.
