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...

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever was for the first time recognized in Yugoslavia in 1971. In this paper were presented clinical and laboratory findings of a patient infected with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in Kosovo in 1999. The disease was manifested with fever, headache, vomiting, myalgia, abdominal pain, pharyngitis, conjuctival injection, diarrhoea, hypotension, gingival bleeding, skin ...

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne disease caused by the arbovirus Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), which is a member of the Nairovirus genus (family Bunyaviridae). CCHF was first recognized during a large outbreak among agricultural workers in the mid-1940s in the Crimean peninsula. The disease now occurs sporadically throughout much of Africa, Asia, and Europ...

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: treatment and control strategy in admitted patients

results primary, secondary, and 3d structure of cchfv gn were obtained and pcr reaction with m13 forward and reverse primers confirmed the generation of recombinant bacmid dna harboring gn coding region under polyhedron promoter. conclusions characterization of the detailed structure of cchfv gn by bioinformatics software provides the basis for development of new experiments and construction of...

background: crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is an acute tick-borne viral, zoonotic disease with hemorrhagic manifestations and considerable mortality in humans. the purpose of this study was to introduce cchf as a case report from babol, north of iran. it is known as an endemic pathogen in some regions of iran.case presentation: we present a case of cchf suffering from sudden onset of fe...

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...
