We report ophthalmological findings in 15 cases of nephropathia epidemica. The patients, 13 men and 2 women, were 20 to 62 (mean 30) years of age. The onset of the disease was characterized by high fever, nausea, headache, abdominal pain, backache, somnolence, red throat, proteinuria, and oliguria.
Puumala virus infection (nephropathia epidemica) as different diagnosis of acute renal failure.
METHODS
A 34-year old patient presented in reduced status with a sudden onset of fever, headache, backpain, abdominal pain, mild diarrhea, nausea with vomiting, and blurred vision. Within a few days an
The clinical picture of nephropathia epidemica (NE) among children is poorly understood. We made a retrospective analysis of 32 patients aged 4-15 years treated in hospital for serologically verified recent NE. The most common clinical findings were high fever (100%), nausea (81%), vomiting (72%),
We report epidemiologic, clinical, laboratory, and biopsy findings in 14 cases of nephropathia epidemica. The patients were between 19 and 49 years of age. The onset of the disease was characterized by high fever, nausea, headache, backache, abdominal pain, proteinuria, oliguria, hematuria, and
From 2000 to 2007, 19 Austrian children (aged 6-18 years) had serologically verified nephropathia epidemica. Common clinical features were abdominal/flank/back pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, headache, and transient visual disturbances. Acute renal failure was present in 18 (95%) patients. All
Central nervous system (CNS) - related symptoms occur in haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). To study the CNS and ophthalmic involvement in nephropathia epidemica (NE), the European type of HFRS, we included 26 patients in a prospective study. Most common CNS-related symptoms were
Clinical symptoms and laboratory measures of renal and liver function, coagulation, and inflammatory parameters were prospectively studied in 74 hospitalized patients (14-74 years of age) with serologic evidence of nephropathia epidemica. The most common clinical findings were acute onset of
Hantavirus infections are endemic worldwide, and its incidence in Europe has been steadily increasing. In Western Europe, hantavirus infections are typically caused by Puumala hantavirus and cause nephropathia epidemica (NE), a mild form of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Up to The true incidence of aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) is thought to be underestimated because numerous ingredients known or suspected to contain aristolochic acid (AA) are used in traditional medicine in Korea.
We collected data on cases of AAN since 1996 via a database in Korea. We evaluated
METHODS
A 49-year-old patient, a hobby hunter, fell ill acutely with joint and limb pain, abdominal pain, nausea and subfebrile temperatures. At hospitalization, the patient was in bad general condition, showing ascites and lid edema, and acute renal failure was diagnosed.
METHODS
Laboratory tests
BACKGROUND
Acute kidney injury induced by aristolochic acid (AA) might occur in patients with chronic glomerular nephritis (CGN). In this study, the clinical and pathological features of patients with acute aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) superimposing CGN (AAN-CGN) were
Puumala hantavirus is the most common hantavirus infection in Western Europe. The causative agent, Puumala virus, is a member of the Hantavirus genus in the Bunyaviridae family. The natural hosts of hantaviruses are chronically, but asymptomatic infected rodents, which transmit the virus to human in
We report the clinical, biological and serological characteristics of 76 cases of Hantavirus-induced acute interstitial nephritis diagnosed in Belgium and France between 1977 and 1986. The disease is characterized by a fever of sudden onset promptly accompanied by pain in the loin or abdomen, nausea
BACKGROUND
Puumala virus (PUUV) is the most important hantavirus species in Central Europe. Nephropathia epidemica (NE), caused by PUUV, is characterized by acute renal injury (AKI) with thrombocytopenia and frequently gastrointestinal symptoms.
METHODS
456 patients with serologically and clinically
