Coagulation and serum F. D. P. studies in 10 leptospirosis patients (5, L. bataviae, 2, L. autumnalis, 2, L. australis, and 1, L. akiyami A.)showed prolongation of prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time and thrombin clotting time, slight low platelet count, depletion of factor V and slightly high serum F. ⋯ D. P. These findings suggested that the damage of capillary endothelium was more pronounced than the coagulopathy which may be due to liver cell damage.
