- Whole decision: Denied
The Veteran's claim for service connection for residuals of hemorrhagic fever, to include renal dysfunction, was denied as there is no evidence that his current kidney problems are related to the hemorrhagic fever he experienced in service. The Board found that the Veteran's chronic kidney disease is more likely due to hypertension and other conditions rather than the hemorrhagic fever.
