--------------------------------------------------------------
A recent death in Ireland highlights the fact that the incidence of
leptospirosis in this country has been increasing in recent years. In
fact, during the past decade, leptospirosis rates have expanded well
beyond those of the United Kingdom, including those for adjoining
Northern Ireland. See graph at
