Sequencing and phylogenetic characterisation of a fatal Crimean - Congo haemorrhagic fever case imported into the United Kingdom, October 2012.

Genome Sequence of Ex-Afghanistan Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus SCT Strain, from an Imported United Kingdom Case in October 2012

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus is a serious human pathogen causing severe hemorrhagic disease with a fatality rate of up to approximately 30%. We have determined the viral genomic sequence from an isolate that caused a fatal case of imported CCHF in the United Kingdom in October 2012.

Non-fatal case of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever imported into the United Kingdom (ex Bulgaria), June 2014.

Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) was diagnosed in a United Kingdom traveller who returned from Bulgaria in June 2014. The patient developed a moderately severe disease including fever, headaches and petechial rash. CCHF was diagnosed following identification of CCHF virus (CCHFV) RNA in a serum sample taken five days after symptom onset. Sequence analysis of the CCHFV genome showed that ...

Reply: Surveillance of Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever in Pakistan

[No Abstract] To the editor: In a recent publication entitle “Surveillance of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever in Pakistan”  published in “The Lancet Infectious Diseases”, the authors claimed that before the Eid al-Adha, Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF)-livestock infected are imported from Iran and Afghanistan to Baluchistan province of Pakistan and then tran...

THE EFFICACY OF ORAL RIBAVIRIN IN THE TREATMENT OF 81 PROVED CASES OF CRIMEAN-CONGO HEMORRHAGIC FEVER (CCHF) IN IRAN (1999-2001)

Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever is a fatal viral disease that occurs in some parts of Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle-East. Primarily it is a zoonosis but can be seen sporadically in humans. Recently outbreaks have been reported from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Iran. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the efficacy of oral Ribavirin in the...
