It has been known that most patients with Korean Hemorrhagic Fever (KHF) were recovered without any significant renal complication. But several cases of renal hypertension, chronic pyelonephritis, and chronic renal failure after KHF have been reported. Recently, we experienced one case of chronic pyelonephritis as a sequela of KHF, which has been diagnosed at the 78th month of illness. This case showed reduced thickness of renal parenchyme, small and irregular shaped kidney, focal loss of normal cupping of calyces, and accumulation of radiacontrast media at distal calyes by IVP. This case suggested that chronic pyelonephritis may develop as a sequela of KHF, which has been diagnosed at the 78th month of illness.
