Core Tip
Core Tip: Microvascular injury presenting with hemorrhage in mucus is a typical symptom in hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) patients. Infection related aortic dissection occurs sporadically, and there has been no report of concurrent HFRS and aortic dissection. HFRS complicated with aortic dissection is rare and a difficult clinical condition that deserves further study and discussion.
