Abstract
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), a naturally occurring epidemic disease, is primarily caused by hantaviruses. It frequently involves the lungs and is characterized by symptoms such as fever, hemorrhage, and renal failure. However, the occurrence of acute pancreatitis (AP) in HFRS patients can be neglected, and high intraocular pressure (IOP) is exceedingly uncommon. In this report, we discuss the case of a 30-year-old male who presented with fever, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Physical examination revealed extremity petechiae rashes and elevated IOP. Laboratory tests indicated coagulopathy and renal failure. A computed tomography scan confirmed AP. Further testing revealed a positive anti-hantavirus IgM antibody. The patient received supportive care, fluid hydration, hemofiltration, mannitol, brinzolamide, and brimonidine to reduce IOP. Three days post-admission, the patient developed shortness of breath and chest pain. Subsequent chest computed tomography revealed pulmonary edema and bilateral pleural effusion. Treatment included oxygen supply, respiratory support, and thoracentesis, with continued hemofiltration. The patient recovered, regaining normal pulmonary and renal functions and normalized IOP. This case underscores the importance of comprehensive evaluations and vigilant monitoring in HFRS patients, particularly measuring IOP in those with visual complaints, to save lives and reduce morbidity.
