Popis: Objectives Bosnia and Herzegovina is a known endemic region for Hantavirus infection. In this region at least two different Hantaviruses, the Dobrava viruses (DOBV) and Puumala viruses (PUUV) have been found. The aim of the study was to determine glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in patients with a history of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) 9 to 10 years after the acute phase of the disease. Design and Methods We prospectively reviewed clearance of technetium marked diethyl three amino pentacetic acid (Tc99m DTPA) in 42 male convalescents with serologically confirmed HFRS, 13 patients with PUUV infection and 29 patients with DOBV infection. Results The tubulosecretory phase of the GFR was prolonged in six patients (46%) with PUUV infection and 23 patients (79%) with DOBV infection (P
