Official Title: A Phase 2 Treatment Protocol of Intravenous Ribavirin in Adult Subjects With Hemorrhagic Fever With Renal Syndrome (HFRS) in the 121st Combat Support Hospital (Seoul, Korea)
Brief Summary: Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) is caused by a virus acquired by contact with chronically infected rodent hosts. HFRS is present throughout Korea. Treatment consists mainly of supportive care with careful attention to control of blood pressure and fluid balance and/or dialysis. Early initiation of IND Intravenous Ribavirin has been shown to be an effective treatment for HFRS and may prevent the need for dialysis. It is important to initiate therapy based on a diagnosis consistent with HFRS and a history that makes exposure likely. This study will monitor the clinical events that occur with HFRS as well as the safety and efficacy of Ribavirin.
