Sažetak
In one of nine piggeries of one pig herd, 18 days after sows farrowed litters some of piglets were severely jaundiced and poor viable were died. Five of this sick piglets had titres for leptospires but twelve sows of them had not. Total of five piglets which were brought to our clinic due determine diagnosis, had aglutinins for leptospire and pathological change in one died and two sacrified piglets were severe jaundice, liver and kidney parenchymatous degeneration and splenomegaly. From sacrified piglets kidneys a leptospires serogroup icterohaemorrhagiae were isolated by cultivation in Korthof's media. In two piglets a streptomycin was administered during four days what was resulted with failure in isolation of leptospires from their kidneys. The obtained fact indicates that the source of infection for piglets in piggeries were very probably rats.
