Abstract

We present a case of leptospirosis in a 32-year-old German who exhibited a progressing fever, calf pain complicated with acute kidney injury, and rhabdomyolysis following engagement in freshwater activities at a waterfall in Thailand. Fortunately, the patient made a full recovery without the need for renal replacement therapy.
