Design and set-up of the leptospirosis registry LeptoScope for epidemiology, outbreaks and clinical studies on human leptospirosis
<i>LeptoScope</i> is to our knowledge the first worldwide research platform on public health and clinical studies concerning <i>Leptospira</i>-associated diseases. <i>LeptoScope</i> promotes the needed collaboration at the cross-roads of public health, microbiology, infectious diseases and nephrology for an underrecognized and often neglected disease. Ensuring controlled or uncontrolled level II evidence <i>LeptoScope</i> may improve patient care and may provide evidence for robust treatment recommendations in future.
