Patient's question:
My sister-in-law's mother is fifty-five years old this year. Her mother-in-law always feels weak and tired all over. Every day, she feels extremely weak and very uncomfortable. So, she went to the hospital for many thorough examinations. The result was kidney disease. What is hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a viral infectious disease that is typically spread through the respiratory and digestive tracts. Aerosols composed of industrial pollutants, such as urine, feces, and saliva, can be transmitted through the respiratory tract, leading to human infection. Animals contaminated with industrial waste can cause oral or gastrointestinal mucosal infections in humans. October, November, December, and January are peak months for incidence. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to hygiene when consuming meat products.
