[Serologic diagnosis of mild, unclear and asymptomatic forms of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome].
The use of the serological method (the indirect fluorescent antibody test) for the examination of 255 persons coming in contact with patients having hemorrhagic fever with the renal syndrome (HFRS) in the foci of this infection where outbreaks of group infection had been registered made it possible to detect mild, unclear and asymptomatic forms of HFRS in 17.7-20.9% of cases. The simultaneous titration of 317 serum samples with two antigens revealed that HFRS virus of serotype 1, similar to strain Hantaan from Korea, may cause, besides the classical forms of the disease, the development of mild and asymptomatic forms of this infection.
