title: [The incidence and clinical picture of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in East Slovakia: the eastern and western type].
abstract: Hemorrhagic Fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is endemic in East Slovakia. The paper presents the clinical picture of 4 serologically confirmed cases. Two of the 4 patients had serological evidence of recent Hantaan virus infection. Positive immunofluorescent reactions with Puumala virus (CG 18-20) were detected in the sera of the other two patients. The obtained results suggest the circulation of two serotypes of HFRS in Slovakia.
