        Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the pathogenic spirochetes, Leptospira. The disease has a significant impact in several regions of the world; the WHO classifies it as an emerging public health problem due to the epidemic potential that it can have; mainly, because it is related to hydrometeorological conditions. Symptoms include sudden fever, severe headaches, muscle pain, nausea, and chills. Leptospirosis is considered a neglected disease that is associated with populations living in vulnerable conditions in urban and rural environments. Many cases of leptospirosis are related to specific occupations, such as agriculture and animal management. The impact on animal health is reflected in economic losses and risk situations intertwine the humananimal-ecosystem triad. Leptospirosis has been present since ancient times and even today, it is observed that its incidence remains in force. The lack of clinical suspicion its non-specific symptoms, and the limited availability of timely diagnosis among physicians, make it an unknown disease. In this paper, a systematic review of the literature from PubMed, Scielo, Latindex and Google Scholar is presented, and it describes the historical view of the epidemiology of leptospirosis in Yucatan.
        La leptospirosis es una enfermedad zoonótica causada por las espiroquetas patógenas Leptospira. La enfermedad tiene impacto significativo en varias regiones del mundo, la OMS la cataloga como enfermedad emergente de salud pública, por el potencial epidémico que puede tener, principalmente relacionado con condiciones hidrometeorológicas. Los síntomas incluyen fiebre repentina, fuertes dolores de cabeza, dolor muscular, náuseas y escalofríos. La leptospirosis, también se considera una enfermedad desatendida que se asocia a poblaciones que viven en condiciones de vulnerabilidad en entornos urbanos y rurales. Muchos casos de leptospirosis están relacionados con ocupaciones específicas, como la agricultura y el manejo de animales. El impacto en la salud animal se refleja en las pérdidas económicas y las situaciones de riesgo entrelazan la triada humano-animalecosistema. La leptospirosis ha estado presente desde tiempos remotos y aún en la actualidad se observa que su prevalencia permanece constante. La falta de sospecha clínica entre los médicos, sus síntomas inespecíficos y la disponibilidad limitada de pruebas de diagnóstico, la hacen una enfermedad relativamente desconocida. El artículo describe el panorama histórico epidemiológico de la leptospirosis en Yucatán. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura en las bases de datos PubMed, Scielo, Latindex, Google Scholar.
