To investigate the role of viral load in the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, the Hantaan virus RNA load in plasma from 101 patients was quantified, and the relationships between viral load and disease course, severity, and level of specific humoral immunity were analyzed. The viral load, detectable in 79 patients, ranged from 3.43 to 7.33 log(10) copies/mL of plasma. In the early stage of disease, patients in severe/critical group were found to have higher viral loads than those in the mild/moderate group (5.90 vs 5.03 log10 copies/mL; P =.001), suggesting an association between Hantaan virus load and disease severity.
