Which form of AHS has the highest mortality?

Pulmonary form is the form with the highest mortality. It causes severe lung edema and hemorrhage, leading to rapid respiratory failure and death. The disease progresses quickly, and affected animals often die despite intervention. The fever form is typically milder with low mortality, and the mixed form, while serious, does not reach the same fatality level as the pulmonary form.
