Aim: Present study was undertaken to identify cases of Leptospirosis by Laboratory techniques. Materials and Methods: 136 samples have been considered for serological study in which 30 samples were taken as controls and 106 samples were of clinically suspected cases of leptospirosis. The study was conducted from July – October 2013 at our Tertiary care Hospital situated in South Gujarat. Serum samples of suspected cases of leptospirosis were collected and tested by Immunochromatography, IgM ELISA and MAT. Results: 63.20% of sera found to be positive for leptospirosis in which immunochromatography and IgM ELISA showed 66.98% and 66.98% positivity respectively.
