Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in children
https://doi.org/10.21508/1027-4065-2025-70-5-14-20
Abstract
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome is the most prevalent natural focal infection in the Volga Federal District. The incidence of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in children ranges from 2–10%. According to most researchers, this disease in children typically follows a milder course compared to adults. In some pediatric cases, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome may present without acute kidney injury. Severe forms of the disease are associated with pathogen-specific factors and the intensity of the immune response. For diagnosis of the syndrome, serological testing remains the standard approach, while polymerase chain reaction may be utilized in early stages. A characteristic ultrasonographic finding in hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome is the “prominent pyramids sign”.
