| Name | Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome |
| Description | Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a group of diseases caused by hantaviruses which are members of family Bunyaviridae. Rodents and Soricomorpha species are natural reservoirs of these viruses, and humans acquire infection by inhaling the excreta of infected animals. HFRS is characterized by renal failure, hemorrhages, and shock. The serotype Puumala virus also causes nephropathia epidemica, a milder variant of HFRS. |
