57 cases of leptospirosis were diagnosed in New Caledonia (South Pacific French Territory) between June 1983 and May 1985. 25% cases are severe infections; thrombopenia and renal failure are frequently observed. Leptospires are found in blood or spinal or urine culture confirmed by haemagglutination tests on microplates (Martin et Petit). Epidemiological studies are being performed during 1985-1986 to devise preventive measures adapted to the territory.
