Febrile jaundice is a condition that can be caused by infection and non-infection, one of the causes of infection is leptospirosis. Leptospirosis is caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira. Leptospirosis is a fairly complex condition and can involve various organs. Severe leptospirosis is called Weil's disease. Weil’s disease is a febrile jaundice condition involving various organs, especially the liver and kidneys. The recommended serological tests for Leptospirosis are microscopic agglutination test (MAT) and IgM enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Negative serological results can occur in some cases with typical clinical conditions, requiring re-examination. Pituitary tumors are benign tumors with slow growth. It is very rare to cause liver or other organ metastases.
