background and aims: crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is a fatal viral disease that occurs in approximately 30 countries. it has the most extensive geographic range among the tick-borne viruses that affect human health. cchf viruses have a tripartite rna genome consisting of large (l), medium (m) and small (s) segments. this study was undertaken to determine the genetic relationship of cc...

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...

The major arboviral diseases in mainland China include Japanese encephalitis, dengue fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (also known as Xinjiang hemorrhagic fever), and tick-borne encephalitis. These and other newly found arbovirus infections due to Banna virus and Tahyna virus contribute to a large and relatively neglected disease burden in China. Here we briefly review the literature regar...

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne disease caused by an arbovirus, a member of the Nairovirus genera of Bunyaviridae family, one of the viral hemorrhagic fever causes and can be transmitted to humans by Hyalomma tickbite, by exposure to infected blood and fomites of patient with CCHF or contact with animal tissue in viremic phase, which was first recognized during a large ou...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Crimean - Congo hemorrhagic fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic fever with considerable mortality. Despite increasing knowledge about hemorrhagic fever viruses, the pathogenesis of Crimean -Congo hemorrhagic fever and causes of death were not well described. We aimed to evaluate whether there were electrocardiographic parameters designating mortality among these patients...

OBJECTIVE Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic fever with a high mortality rate. Despite increasing knowledge about hemorrhagic fever viruses, little is known about the pathogenesis of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. In this study, we measured serum adenosine deaminase and xanthine oxidase levels in Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever patients. METHODS Serum adenosine de...
