The efficiency of modernmethods of laboratory diagnosis in the evaluation of various forms of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome caused by the Puumala hantavirus (PUUV).

: We've conducted the analysis of both traditional and new methods of laboratory diagnosis to estimate the severity and damage of target organs during Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS). It was shown that thrombocytopenia corresponds to the severity of the disease and correlates with the severity of renal failure. The level of C-reactive protein reflects the activity of the inflammatory process and correlates with the characteristic laboratory criteria of the disease. Blood serum levels of alveomucine in patients with HFRS more than 45.0 U/ml indicates lung damage. HFRS on the territory of the Bashkortostan Republic is caused by the serotype of Puumala hantavirus; dependence of the form of the disease on the content of antiviral antibodies is not revealed.
