ABSTRACT
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome is an acute disease characterized by fever, headache, bleeding tendency, and anuria. We recently treated a case of hemorrhagic fever in a renal allograft patient with renal syndrome. A 43-year-old woman presented with high fever, headache, and myalgia for 4 days. In February 1998, she had undergone allograft kidney transplantation following treatment with cyclosporine and steroids. Allograft function was stable. Hantaan virus infection was demonstrated by serology during the first hospital week. Her clinical course progressed through febrile, hypotensive, oliguria, polyuria, and recovery phases. The patient was successfully treated with continuous renal replacement therapy and supportive management with maintenance doses of immunosuppressive agents.
