Electronic records search was performed to identify dogs with results for both PCR and MAT testing for leptospirosis.MethodsAll dogs were clinically ill. Diagnosis of leptospirosis was defined as an unvaccinated dog with a positive MAT titer of ≥1:800 or a vaccinated dog or dog with an unknown vaccination status with a positive MAT titer of ≥1:1,600.
