background: crimean congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is an acute febrile haemorrhagic disease. this study was conducted to ascertain the infection status amongst slaughterhouse workers in iran's north-eastern provinces (razavi and northern and southern khorasan), so that analysis of the results could help clarification of the epidemiology of this disease in the aforementioned provinces and easter...

background: the world health organization (who) declares crimean congo hemorrhagic fe­ver (cchf) endemic in turkey. despite the magnitude of problem, no documented evi­dence exists in turkey, which reveals the aware­ness and practices of the country's adult popula­tion regarding cchf, its spread, symptoms, treatment, and preven­tion. this study was conducted to assess the level of knowledge, at...

BACKGROUND Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever was rarely reported from Iran before 1999. In a recent outbreak, the disease has been reported from different provinces of Iran, especially from Sistan and Baluchestan. Ribavirin has been recommended by World Health Organization as a potential therapeutic modality for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. This study was conducted to determine the clinical o...

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever is a tick-borne viral disease reported from more than 30 countries in Africa, Asia, South-East Europe, and the Middle East. The majority of human cases are workers in livestock industry, agriculture, slaughterhouses, and veterinary practice. Nosocomial transmission is also well described. Clinical manifestations are nonspecific and symptoms typically include high...

abstract crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is a tick-borne viral disease reported from more than 30 countries in africa, asia, south-east europe, and the middle east. laboratory findings include prolonged prothrombin, bleeding, and activated partial thromboplastin times. diagnostic methods include antibody detection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa), virus isolation, antigen det...

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever are endemic in Pakistan. However, the overlap of geographic distribution and early clinical features between the two conditions make a reliable diagnosis difficult in the initial stage of illness. A 16-year-old boy presented with a history of hematemesis and high-grade fever. A preliminary diagnosis of dengue hemorrhagic fever was mad...

Turkey is one of the countries in which Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever is frequently seen and most of the cases are reported between April and August. We describe the first case of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in the winter season, when Hyalomma tick activity is absent, from Turkey.
