Functional state of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system in patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome

The aim of our work was to study the state of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system in patients with GLPS in comparison with electrolyte metabolism parameters depending on the period and severity of the disease. Twenty-four patients with GLPS, aged 16 to 53 years, were under observation. Most of them were young (23-24 years old). There were 19 men and 5 women. The diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical, epidemiological and laboratory data.
