SCANDINAVIAN EPIDEMIC NEPHROPATHY AND KOREAN HÆMORRHAGIC FEVER

Epidemic Hæmorrhagic Fever of Korea

Pituitary atrophy in Korean (epidemic) hemorrhagic fever: CT correlation with pituitary function and visual field.

Eleven patients with Korean (epidemic) hemorrhagic fever were each studied three times with high-resolution CT in order to demonstrate necrosis of the pituitary gland and to correlate the CT findings with the patients' pituitary function and visual fields. Seven of the 11 patients showed varying degrees of progressive decrease in the height of the pituitary gland: one severe, two moderate, and ...

Detection of specific serum immunoglobulin M in nephropathia epidemica (Scandinavian epidemic nephropathy) by a biotin-avidin-amplified immunofluorescence method.

A biotin-avidin-amplified indirect immunofluorescence method was used to demonstrate specific serum immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in nephropathia epidemica, the Scandinavian type of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. The antigen in the test was the cross-reacting agent of Korean hemorrhagic fever, Hantaan virus. Sixty-two serum samples from 15 patients with clinically typical nephropath...
