Detection of antibodies to the western and the eastern type of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in patient's sera from Slovakia.
We present serological evidence of infection with western and eastern type of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) virus in patient's sera from Slovakia by indirect immunofluorescence. Treatment of sera with 2-mercaptoethanol decreased levels of haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) antibodies to the eastern type of HFRS suggesting primary infection of the patients by this virus.
