epidemic hemorrhagic fever revisited.	epidemic hemorrhagic fever is a disease characterized by phases of sequential fever, hypotension, oliguria, and polyuria. this disease represented a major hazard for american soldiers during the korean war (1950-1953) and is a persistent problem in asia, the ussr, and northern europe. advances in the etiology, epidemiology, and therapy of epidemic hemorrhagic fever are discussed.	1982	6128779

[hemorrhagic fever with a renal syndrome in the maritime territory].	the sporadic character of the occurrence of hemorrhagic fever with the renal syndrome in the primorye territory has been established. three rodent species have been found to be spontaneously infected with the causative agent of this disease. antibodies in patients with this disease are detected at its early stages and persist for a long time after convalescence. the possibility of the formation of a contingent immune to hemorrhagic fever, due to the persons who have had mild and asymptomatic for ...	1983	6132506
etiologic studies of epidemic hemorrhagic fever (hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome).	two strains of epidemic hemorrhagic fever (ehf) virus were isolated from the lung tissues of apodemus agrarius mice that were captured in an area where ehf is endemic. the strains were isolated by passages in a. agrarius mice from a nonendemic area. identification of the isolates by usual procedures was confirmed by repeated blind tests with coded sera. contamination with certain known viruses such as reovirus, adenovirus (types 3 and 7), and other pathogens, such as murine typhus rickettsiae an ...	1983	6132949

muroid virus nephropathies and muroid viruses of the hantaan virus group.	hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) came dramatically to the attention of western medicine in 1951 with the "new" disease becoming a major source of morbidity and mortality in american troops in korea. known there as epidemic hemorrhagic fever (ehf) or korean hemorrhagic fever (khf), it became apparent that it was the same disease as the endemic (epidemic) hemorrhagic nephroso-nephritis of the soviet far east and songo fever of the japanese army in manchuria. the conjecture that the mil ...	1982	6134336

haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome: memorandum from a who meeting.	haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) is a public health problem throughout most of the european and asian land mass. although predominantly associated with rural areas, it is now being recognized as an urban problem in some countries, and also presents a particular hazard to laboratory staff who use rodents for biomedical research. in wild rodents (rats, mice and voles) the infection is asymptomatic. human infection with the hfrs agent(s) is sporadic, but under special circumstances epi ...	1983	6134591
immunofluorescence studies of disseminated hantaan virus infection of suckling mice.	hantaan virus, the etiological agent of korean hemorrhagic fever, was inoculated intracerebrally or intraperitoneally into suckling mice, and the course of the infection was followed by infectivity titration and immunofluorescence studies. mice became ill and were moribund by 13 to 14 days postinfection. in mice inoculated either intracerebrally or intraperitoneally, virus antigen was present in brain, heart, lungs, liver, and kidney. less consistently, specific fluorescence was observed in sple ...	1983	6134678
isolation of virus causing hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) through a cell culture system.	twenty-three rat lung specimens collected in outbreaks of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) in three medical institutions were inoculated onto the vero-e6 cell monolayers. after several blind passages, an agent growing serially in the cell cultures and reacting specifically with known hfrs-positive sera was isolated from two of these specimens. the two isolates were antigenically identical each other. the agent, named strain sr-11, was identified as the causative virus of hfrs by its ...	1983	6134854
