Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome caused by the Seoul virus

Abstract

The Seoul virus is an important etiologic agent in hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), and infections with the Seoul virus are less severe than those with the Hantaan virus. However, the information on HFRS caused by the Seoul virus is limited in Korea. Retrospective clinical analysis was done on 30 patients with Seoul virus infection who had been diagnosed as having HFRS by clinical features and serologic testing by the plaque reduction neutralization test from 1986 to 1991 at the Seoul National University Hospital. They were compared with 69 patients with Hantaan virus infection. The Seoul virus was the etiologic agent in 25% of Korean HFRS and the major cause of HFRS during the summer season although infections occurred throughout the year. The Seoul virus infection had a milder degree of bleeding and renal derangement but had severer liver dysfunction than the Hantaan virus infection. Renal histopathologic findings revealed a milder degree of hemorrhage and vascular changes than cases involving Hantaan virus infection. The precise mechanisms of vascular dysfunction and organ involvement in Seoul virus infection, however, still remain to be explored.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
