Why leptospirosis is also called as icterohemorrhagic fever?

"Ictero" refers to jaundice, and "hemorrhagic" refers to a propensity towards bleeding. In certain forms of leptospirosis, patients develop a condition known as Weil's disease, or icterohemorrhagic leptospirosis. This is a severe form of leptospirosis, and leads to liver and kidney disease (the liver disease results in jaundice). These patients may also suffer from anemia, fever, and hemorrhage.
