Leptospiremia in 102 patients with quantitative PCR–confirmed leptospirosis and day of sample collection since symptom onset, Martinique, 2010–2013. Each symbol (triangle, circle, or square) represents the leptospiremia of 1 leptospirosis patient on the day when the sample was collected. D indicates day of symptom onset. Open symbols indicate severe cases; closed symbols indicate nonsevere cases. Triangles correspond to Leptospira interrogans species, circles to other identified species, and squ

Each symbol (triangle, circle, or square) represents the leptospiremia of 1 leptospirosis patient on the day when the sample was collected. D indicates day since symptom onset. Open symbols indicate severe cases; closed symbols indicate nonsevere cases. Triangles correspond to Leptospira interrogans species, circles to other identified species, and squares to cases without genomic identification. Dotted line indicates the threshold for severe diseases determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.
