Neither leukocytosis nor lymphopenia were prominent features, while thrombocytopenia was seen during the 3(rd) to 5(th) day of illness, with dropping haemoglobin levels.

These findings may be of use to clinicians in differentiating leptospirosis from other acute infections like dengue, and could help in predicting severe leptospirosis.
