To measure the prevalence of leptospirosis with two techniques in inhabitants of Izamal, Yucatan and to determine its relation with some exposure factors.<jats:italic>Material and Methods<\/jats:italic>. Transversal study in populations belonging to the HR62\u2014IMSS-Opportunities working force in Izamal, Yucatan. Population, including 6 years of age or more, was randomly selected to participate in the study. A questionnaire was applied for personal ID and exposure factors; blood samples were taken for leptospirosis diagnosis. Simple frequencies, proportions, tendency and dispersion measures, prevalence and odd ratios and confidence intervals (CI) of 95%, and logistic regression model were obtained.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. 204 patients, between 9 and 80 years old were included; 180 were positive (88.2%) with the dark-field technique; using MAT cutoff at , 178 patients (87.3%) were positive, while at there were 103 positive (50.5%). The predominant serovar was Hardjo (94%). The highest prevalence was in women (96.3%) and in the &gt;45-year-old group (95.7%); feminine gender (RM = 2.31 IC 95% 3.59\u201328.6), housewife (RM = 22.8 IC 95% 4.9\u2013106.1), being in contact with stagnant water (RM = 5.2 IC 95% 1.7\u201315.9), and being in contact with domestic animal feces (RM = 5.1 IC 95% 1.9\u201313.1), these being the most significant variables in the final logistic regression model.<jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. The prevalence found was higher than the one nationally and internationally reported, representing an important finding, being in turn a local public health, maybe nationally. It is urgent to reinforce this research as well as to establish preventive and control measure to avoid exposure and health damages.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4061\/2011\/408604","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,2]],"date-time":"2011-11-02T19:00:57Z","timestamp":1320260457000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Leptospirosis
