Abstract |
Korean hemorrhagic fever is acute febrile illness caused by Hantan virus. It involves capillaries and small vessels systemically, and leads to dysfunctions of many organs, esp. kidney. In recent years, we have experienced 4 cases of korean hemorrhagic fever in children’s age group. Diagnosis was confirmed by immunofluorescent technique in one case and renal biopsy was done in 2 cases. All of them recovered uneventfully after variable period of renal failure.
