Abstract
In the past, acute renal failure from Hantavirus infection was regarded as a curiosity of the far East (hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, HFRS) and Northern Europe (nephropathia epidemica). In the far East, hemorrhagic fever had been known for decades, but attracted considerable attention only during the Korean war. It is a severe disease which carried then a mortality of 30–40% (now approximately 5%). It is characterized by mucosal hemorrhage, acute renal failure and cardiac involvement. A more benign disease, nephropathia epidemica, has long been known in certain regions of Northern Europe. It is characterized by low mortality, but a high rate of renal involvement. Both diseases do not cause major residual renal damage.
