Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is an infectious disease typically caused by hantavirus infection. It manifests with fever and hemorrhagic symptoms; during bleeding episodes, patients may develop cutaneous erythema and congestion. Additionally, reduced blood flow in the vasculature can lead to shock and severe renal injury.
