Comanifestation of Acute Myocardial Infarction and Seizures in a Patient with Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome

Abstract

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) caused by the Hantaan virus is an acute illness characterized by high fever, hemorrhagic symptoms, and renal insufficiency. The natural history of HFRS is heterogeneous, with some patients suffering a self-limited influenza-like febrile illness and others progressing to shock and death. There are also various extrarenal manifestations of HFRS. However, the simultaneous presentation of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and seizures in a patient with HFRS has rarely been reported. Herein we present the case of a patient presenting with AMI and seizures associated with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.
