ABSTRACT
The incidence of human hantavirus infection in Singapore is low. Hitherto, only 2 cases of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) have been reported. A third case is reported here of a ragman who had the classical manifestations of HFRS, confirmed by serology. In addition, his condition was complicated by liver dysfunction and neurological disturbance. After a protracted stay, the patient was finally discharged from hospital 5 months after the onset of his severe illness.
