ABSTRACT
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) caused by the Hantann virus occurs frequently in Korea. On the other hand, the incidence of HFRS is very low in Jeju Island. A 62-year-old man was transferred from another hospital because of persistent fever, myalgia, generalized edema, epigastric pain, conjunctival injection, costovertebral angle tenderness, thrombocytopenia and azotemia. On the second hospital day, he exhibited oliguric symptoms. His urine output increased from the fourth hospital day. The test for the anti-Hantaan virus antibody was positive. Finally, he was diagnosed with HFRS and recovered with conservative management. HFRS should be considered when acute renal failure develops in patients with fever and thrombocytopenia in Jeju Island.
