Abstract
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is an acute infective multisystemic disease that commonly presents with fever, hemorrhage and acute renal failure. A 17-year-old boy presented with thrombocytopenia, profuse subconjunctival hemorrhage and anuric renal failure with fluid overload. The patient required continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. He developed diuresis but did not recover renal function during reconvalescent period. Hantaan, Puumala, Seoul, Belgrade virus infection with haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome was confirmed by serologic test.
