[Acute myopia and progressive acute renal failure in a 28-year old active horsewoman].
A 28-year old active sportswoman was admitted to hospital suffering from fever, menigeal irritation, acute myopia and progressive acute renal failure. Showing signs of polyserositis in combination with pulmonary granulomatous changes a collagenosis as well as an atypical pneumonia was excluded first. Due to the renal loss of function a renal biopsy was taken with the typical histological result of a hantavirus infection. This could be confirmed serologically in the following. With symptomatic treatment the patient had an uneventful complete recovery during the next four weeks.
