A 42‐year‐old air‐conditioning technician presented with abdominal pain and influenza like illness eventually developed thrombocytopenia and haemoconcentration with renal impairment shortly after admission. The patient required a section of haemodialysis for acute oliguric renal failure with fluid overload. He developed diuresis and his clinical condition was improved with supportive treatment. Hantaan virus infection with haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome was confirmed by serologic test.
