What is Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS)?

Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) is a viral infectious disease primarily transmitted by rodents. In the early stage of the disease, patients typically present with mild fever, gastrointestinal discomfort, and respiratory tract infection symptoms. As the disease progresses, patients may enter a hypotensive shock phase characterized by decreased blood pressure, tachypnea, generalized convulsions, and widespread hemorrhage. Prompt treatment is essential; without timely intervention, severe cases can be fatal. Treatment primarily involves antiviral therapy, supplemented by symptomatic and supportive medications tailored to the patient’s specific clinical manifestations.
