Fatal cases of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in Udmurtia, Russia, 2010 to 2019.

ABSTRACT: Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) continues to be a cause of death in Europe. Our aim was to describe the clinical and histopathological features of fatal HFRS in the Udmurt Republic (Udmurtia), located in the European part of Russia. This retrospective observational study included all fatal cases of HFRS that occurred in Udmurtia from January 2010 through December 2019. The most relevant clinical and autopsy data of these cases were recorded through a review of the patients' medical records and autopsy reports. During 2010-2019, Udmurtia had 41 fatal cases of HFRS of a total of 10,312 confirmed cases (case-fatality rate of 0.4%). Twenty-seven patients died in hypotensive and oliguric phases of HFRS due to refractory septic shock and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Fourteen patients died in the polyuric phase of the disease from complications of acute kidney injury or because of hospital-acquired bacterial infections. Multiorgan involvement was noted in all autopsies with variable degrees of generalized venous congestion, interstitial edema, capillary wall thickening, perivascular deposition of plasma proteins, microthrombosis formation, and perivascular hemorrhage. The more prominent histopathological features were seen in kidneys, lungs, and hypophysis.

Project description:BackgroundThirty-four CCHF cases (17 fatal; 17 survived) were confirmed from Gujarat state, India during the year 2019. We aimed to find out the viral load, antibody kinetics, cytokine profile and phylogenetic analysis between fatal and non- fatal cases.MethodsThirty four cases were included in this study. Blood and urine samples were collected from all the cases on the day of admission to hospital. Non-fatal cases were followed weekly for understanding the profile of viral kinetics, anti-CCHFV IgM and IgG antibodies. We also quantified the cytokines in both fatal and non-fatal cases. For epidemiological correlation, livestock were screened for anti-CCHF IgG antibodies and the tick pool specimens were tested by real time RT-PCR. Virus isolation was attempted on tick pools and human specimens and phylogenetic analysis performed on human and ticks complete genome sequences.ResultsCCHF cases were detected throughout year in 2019 with the peak in August. Out of 34 cases, eight secondary CCHF cases were reported. Cases were predominantly detected in males and in 19-45 years age group (55.88%). The persistence of viremia was observed till 76th POD (post onset date) in one case whereas anti-CCHFV IgM and IgG was detected amongst these cases from the 2nd and 20th POD respectively. Positivity observed amongst livestock and tick pools were was 21.57% and 7.4% respectively. The cytokine analysis revealed a significant increase in the level of serum IL-6, IL-10 and IFN-γ during the acute phase of the infection, but interestingly IL-10 lowered to normal upon clearance of the virus in the clinically recovered case. Fatal cases had high viral RNA copy numbers. Bleeding from one or two mucosal sites was significantly associated with fatality (OR-16.47;p-0.0034 at 95% CI). We could do CCHF virus isolation from two cases. Phylogenetic analysis revealed circulation of re-assortment of Asian-West African genotypes in humans and ticks.ConclusionsThe persistence of CCHF viral RNA was detected till 76th POD in one of the survivors. The circulation of a re-assortment Asian-West African genotype in a CCHF case is also reported first time from India.
