The sporadic character of the occurrence of hemorrhagic fever with the renal syndrome in the Primorye Territory has been established. Three rodent species have been found to be spontaneously infected with the causative agent of this disease. Antibodies in patients with this disease are detected at its early stages and persist for a long time after convalescence. The possibility of the formation of a contingent immune to hemorrhagic fever, due to the persons who have had mild and asymptomatic forms of this infection has been shown.
