title: Korean hemorrhagic fever: nursing care critical to recovery.
abstract: Army nursing personnel assigned to Korea arrive there with little knowledge of what unique illnesses soldiers may contract in this new field environment. One potentially life-threatening illness soldiers faced during the Korean War and still face today is Korean hemorrhagic fever (KHF). With a thorough understanding of the KHF disease process and the appropriate nursing actions, nurses and their staff can play a significant role in averting the serious progression of this disease.
