Leptospirosis: The symptoms of leptospirosis can be quite variable. Of course the fulminant cases are remarkable and severe- with the patient turning yellow, vomiting, in pain (muscle pain) and requiring hospital care. There can be more mild forms, such as just fevers and muscle aches. Best to get evaluated by an infectious diseases doctor - there is curative treatment! There's also preventative treatment too.
