The objective of this trial was to detect leptospires in fragments of kidney, liver and uterus of 96 cows with unknown sanitary status, randomly chosen at slaughter in Paraná, Brazil. All 96 urine samples were submitted to direct examination using dark field microscopy. Positive samples in the direct examination and all kidney, liver and uterus fragments were cultured in EMJH modified medium and Tween 80/40/LH. Sections cut of kidney, liver and uterus were stained by Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) and indirect immunoperoxidase with hyperimmune serum against serovar Hardjo (Hardjoprajitno) and strain Londrina 14 (LO14), from serovar Canicola, which was isolated in the northern region of Paraná state, Brazil, used as primary antibodies. Direct examination detected leptospires in the urine of four animals. All attempts to isolate leptospires from urine and kidney, liver and uterus fragments were negative after 16 weeks of incubation. In the HE stain, focal infiltrate of mononuclear inflammatory cells was observed in the renal interstitial area of most animals. In the indirect immunoperoxidase assay using hyperimmune serum against LO14 strain, the kidney of only one animal presented positive results. All fragments of kidney, liver and uterus tested with hyperimmune serum against serovar Hardjo were negative. O objetivo deste trabalho foi detectar leptospiras em fragmentos de rim, fígado e útero de 96 fêmeas bovinas com histórico sanitário desconhecido, escolhidas aleatoriamente durante o abate em um frigorífico no Estado do Paraná, Brasil. Todas as 96 amostras de urina foram submetidas ao exame direto em microscópio de campo escuro. As amostras positivas neste exame e todos os fragmentos de rim, fígado e útero foram semeados nos meios de cultura EMJH modificado e Tween 80/40/LH. Os cortes histológicos de rim, fígado e útero foram submetidos à coloração de Hematoxilina-Eosina (HE) e a prova de imunoperoxidase indireta com soros hiperimunes contra o sorovar Hardjo (Hardjoprajitno) e contra a estirpe Londrina (LO14), do sorovar Canicola, isolada no norte do Paraná, Brasil, utilizados como anticorpo primário. O exame direto detectou leptospiras na urina de quatro animais. Todas as tentativas de isolamento das urinas e fragmentos de rim, fígado e útero foram negativas após 16 semanas de incubação. No exame histopatológico foi observado infiltrado focal de células mononucleares no interstício renal da maioria dos animais. Na prova de imunoperoxidase indireta com o soro hiperimune contra a estirpe LO14, o rim de um animal foi o único a apresentar resultado positivo. Todos os fragmentos de rim, fígado e útero testados com o soro hiperimune contra o sorovar Hardjo foram negativos
