title: [Time periods of antibody preservation in patients convalescing from hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in European foci of the infection].
abstract: The radioimmunoassay of serum samples from 76 convalescents after hemorrhagic fever with the renal syndrome (HFRS), that took place in 1964 in Ufa, revealed the presence of specific antibodies in 75% of the convalescents. The absence of antibodies may be attributed both to their loss in some of the convalescents and to mistakes in the clinical diagnosis. The study of serum samples from 19 convalescents who had the infection in 1960 during the laboratory outbreak of HFRS at the Gamaleya Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology (Moscow) showed the presence of antibodies in all convalescents. In both groups the infection was linked with common red-backed voles (the Western serological variant of the virus).
