Thanks to advances in diagnostics, in recent years, the arsenal of laboratory methods for determining the etiology of most infectious diseases has expanded significantly: from traditional bacteriological, immunoassay to molecular genetic
studies. In this regard, for a specific laboratory hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) today, the method of choice is the
indirect immunofluorescence reaction (NRIF) and the antibody fluorescence method (MFA). The latter method is simple to set up and highly informative, the serological confirmation of the clinical diagnosis reaches 96–98%. However, the
need to use paired sera significantly postpones the time of laboratory diagnosis. This, in turn, hinders the early implementation of measures for the treatment of the disease and the prevention of complications (Fazlyeva R.M., 1995; Magazov R.Sh.,
2006).
