Seasonal and spatial distributions coincided with rainfall patterns for the state, with most cases diagnosed in the spring and in the western part of the state. Common exposure risks included contact with water in the environment (14\/65) and contact with wildlife (14); 33 dogs had no history of known exposure risks. Among dogs with other conditions at the time of diagnosis (26\/64), dermatitis, otitis, or both were the most commonly reported findings (9\/26). Of 65 dogs, 44 recovered, 12 died or were euthanized because of leptospirosis, and 9 were lost to follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:bold> Distribution of canine leptospirosis cases in Oregon fit the rainfall theory pattern. Dermatologic conditions were present in 9 of 64 (14%) dogs that had a diagnosis of leptospirosis; however, further investigation is needed to determine whether such conditions predispose dogs to the disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.248.8.908","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,31]],"date-time":"2016-03-31T20:59:06Z","timestamp":1459457946000},"page":"908-915","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Characterization
