conclusions our results showed that the study population perceived a high likelihood of cchf risk. improving public knowledge and awareness could result in a more realistic assessment of cchf risk, hence better compliance with taking precaution measures to tackle the disease. results approximately 70% of the respondents reported the cchf risk to be 'high'. factors independently associated with ...

background crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is a tick-borne disease caused by arbovirus which can be transmitted to human by several routes. tick bite and living in a rural area have been the most common factors for inception of cchf in adults and children in studies reported from iran. objectives this study was conducted to detect the disease acquisition routes among children with confir...

southeast of iran is an endemic area for malaria and crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever ( cchf). in 1999, we faced with an outbreak of cchf in sistan and baluchistan province, in the border of paki­stan and afghanistan. the most cases of malaria in iran are also reported from this area. this arti­cle presents a 17-year- old woman who admitted to our hospital because of acute fever, head­ache, epis...

subulura brumpti infection was observed in japanese quails and caused heavy production loss up to 10%. gross lesions were confined to caecum of the affected birds. pathological changes suggestive of acute cecal hemorrhagic enteritis were recorded. closer observation of the cecal loop revealed wavy movement with thousands of tiny worms. based on morphometry, the worms were identified as s. brump...

A widespread grass carp hemorrhagic disease (GCHD) caused by grass carp reovirus (GCRV) has been known in China since 1983. A virulent reovirus strain, HZ08, was isolated from diseased grass carp in Zhejiang Province, China. We sequenced and analyzed the complete genome of strain HZ08 and compared it with published GCRV genome sequences, contributing to the evidence of several genotypes of GCRV...

Background: Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) occurs due to plasma leakage increased vascular permeability, which is also supported by an active complement system, makes DHF fall into complications such as shock or dengue syndrome (DSS). The comprehensive management of DSS could prevent morbidity and mortality in patients. We aimed report three variations cases their management. Case presentation:...

The maturation and postnatal development of the human coagulation system was first studied and described more than 20 years ago. These older studies, supported by more recent data, confirm the significant and important differences in the physiology of coagulation and fibrinolysis in neonates and young children compared with older children and adults. Subsequently, significant differences were a...

Bleeding symptoms are frequently reported even in otherwise healthy subjects, and differentiating a normal subject from a patient with a mild bleeding disorder (MBD) can be extremely challenging. The concept of bleeding rate, that is, the number of bleeding episodes occurring within a definite time, could be used as the unifying framework reconciling the bleeding risk observed in congenital and...
