A98: Other viral haemorrhagic fevers, not elsewhere classified

A98.5: Haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome

The illness can appear very suddenly. To start with, you can have headaches, back pain and stomach aches. You may feel very sleepy and your blood pressure may drop sharply. It may also cause circulation problems. The illness can cause inflammation of the kidneys.

There are normally 2 kidneys in the body. They filter blood and create urine. They thus help to detoxify the body. Furthermore, the kidneys regulate blood pressure and the mineral levels in the blood, among other things. The viruses have caused your kidney function to deteriorate rapidly. When the kidneys stop working properly they can only carry out their tasks to a limited degree. As a result, you may only pass a small amount of urine or even none at all. The mineral levels and the acidity in the blood may also change.
