The data of the literature and our own research of clinical and epidemiological features of hantavirus infection the North-West region of Russia, showing the loss of endemicity of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. It is noted mostly airborne infection in young and middle-aged men, year-round nature of the disease with seasonal peaks. The clinical picture is moderately prevalent the disease with no or minimal systemic manifestation of hemorrhagic syndrome, often marked by thrombocytopenia, moderate dysfunction and kidney damage in half the time without reducing urine output. The introduction of acute kidney damage concept allows significantly improve the diagnostic efficiency and stratification of renal dvsfunction severity in Datients with hantavirus infection.

Introduction: Alkhumra hemorrhagic fever virus (AHFV) is a newly discovered virus in the Flaviviridae family. It was discovered in 1995 among animal handlers in Saudi Arabia. AHFV spreads through close contact with infected animals and tick bites.

Differential diagnosis is complicated in children and adolescents by their overlapping clinical features (signs, symptoms, and complete blood count results). Few studies have directly compared the three diseases.

Objective: This research aimed to analyze the impact of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) with acute pancreatitis (AP) on the severity and prognosis of patients, screen the risk factors of HFRS with AP, and establish a nomogram model.
Methods: Data were collected from HFRS patients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Dali University and Dali Prefecture People's Hospital (2013-2023). Patients were divided into HFRS with AP ( = 34) and HFRS without AP groups ( = 356).

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) caused by hantavirus is prevalent across China and causes a significant number of deaths every year. This study aims to examine the transmission dynamics of hantavirus and to suggest effective control measures. We extend a periodic model of HFRS infection including house/field mice, contaminated environments, and the human population by introducing nonlinear pulses used to describe impulsive interventions.

The transmission cycle is complex, involving multiple vector and host species, but there are significant gaps in ecological knowledge. Empirical data on pathogen-vector-host interactions and incrimination have not been updated since the last century, despite significant local changes in land use and the expansion of KFD to new areas.
