Epidemic hemorrhagic fever

Epidemic hemorrhagic fever (EHF) is a natural epidemic disease caused by a virus. In 1982, the World Health Organization (WHO) named it hemorrhagic fever with renal syndromes (HFRS). It is an acute viral infectious disease with fever, bleeding tendency and kidney damage as its main clinical features. The disease is mainly distributed in Eurasia, but the transmission of HFRS virus spreads almost all continents in the world.
