Question

In the first phase of leptospirosis, humans exhibit all the following symptoms, except
A) sudden temperature spikes.
B) hepatitis.
C) vivid pink eyes.
D) severe headaches.

Accepted Answer

In the first phase of leptospirosis, symptoms are flu-like and can include sudden temperature spikes, severe headaches, and conjunctival suffusion (which might be described as "vivid pink eyes"), but not hepatitis. Hepatitis, or liver inflammation, is more characteristic of the second phase of the disease, if it progresses to that stage.
