title: Two cases of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in northern Greece.
abstract: Two cases of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome were diagnosed in woodcutters presumably exposed to wild rodents and their urine in a forest in northern Greece. The disease was characterized by acute renal insufficiency without hemorrhagic manifestations. One patient required hemodialysis, but both recovered without sequelae and developed a fourfold increase in titer of antibody to Hantaan virus, as determined by an immunofluorescence test. These are the first reported cases of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in Greece.
