The authors observed 22 patients with hemorrhagic fever with the renal syndrome (HFRS). The diagnosis turned out to be difficult in outpatient clinics as all the patients were referrred to hospital with erroneous diagnoses. Epidemiological causes of infection of HFRS were indicated. The authors singled out 3 periods in a course of this disease with characteristic symptoms. The diagnosis was confirmed serologically in the reaction of indirect immunofluorescence, a 4-fold increase and over in antibody titer was observed. A case history was presented.
