Abstract

The paper reviews the known facts on the immunological response in infections with viral haemorrhagic fevers--dangerous pathogens for life and health of people. Immunological process registered in infections with viruses from Arenaviridae, Bunyaviridae, Filoviridae and Flaviviridae have been described. Moreover, the immunological response in infection with the RHD (rabbit haemorrhagic disease) virus from Caliciviridae family have been shown as a potential model for laboratory research on the duration and pathogenesis of viral haemorrhagic fevers.
