Leptospirosis is a zoonotic and neglected waterborne disease caused by the pathogenic helical spirochetes. Early diagnosis of leptospirosis remains challenging due to non-specific symptoms and the limited availability of rapid point-of-care diagnostic tests. Herein, we present a case where a patient suspected of having COVID-19 was diagnosed with leptospirosis using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). This case highlights the potential of mNGS to diagnose leptospirosis in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
