[Viral hemorrhagic fevers--epidemiology and clinical picture].
The article presents current knowledge about viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHF), their epidemiology, etiological factors, pathogenesis, symptoms and clinical management. Since none of the diseases appear endemically in Poland, special attention was given to spatial distribution of VHF for the purpose to facilitate undertaking clinical suspicions on the basis of the patient's recent travels. Determining the etiological agent should lead to selection of appropriate management options.
