Abstract
Background: Leptospirosis cases are typically rodent-sourced. Domestic animals like cattle and dogs are also known to be carriers of Leptospira but are rarely implicated in human cases. Case Presentation: In this case, a parasitology researcher who dissected dogs presented with atypical leptospirosis which had high possibility to be canine-sourced. Conclusion: Leptospirosis must be suspected in febrile patients with canine bodily fluid exposure.
