A recent outbreak of hemorrhagic fever in wild ruminants in the northwest United States was characterized by rapid onset of fever, followed shortly thereafter by hemorrhage and death. As a result, a confirmed 1,000 white-tailed deer and pronghorn antelope died over the course of 3 months. Lesions were multisystemic and included severe edema, congestion, acute vascular necrosis, and hemorrhage. ...

245 patients with typhoid fever were admitted in university of isfahan medical centers during the last 4 years are reported here in this study. the diagnosis was confirmed in each case by the history of the exposure physical examination, widal seroreaction and blood culture test. the highest incidence of the disease occurred between 10-19 years of age, and mostly in summer months, during june, ...

introduction crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is a viral hemorrhagic fever which transmitted by tick-bites, or through contact with infected animal tissues or secretions during and immediately post-slaughter. it can be responsible for severe outbreaks in humans. case presentation we have explained five patients of a family with (cchf), which acquired the illness at one time. every five pa...

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. the current mortality rate in endemic areas varies between 5 to 20 percent depending on the geographic location and medical...

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is an acute fabrile illness caused by four serotypes of Dengue virus and characterized clinically by hemorrhagic diathesis and a tendency to develop a shock syndrome (DSS). In the earlier epidemics(l-3), hemorrhagic manifestations and shock were the main features. In the past two years, we have found that neurological manifestations were prominent in addition to s...

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an emerging zoonotic disease in India and requires immediate detection of infection both for preventing further transmission and for controlling the infection. The present study describes development, optimization, and evaluation of a novel molecular beacon-based real-time RT-PCR assay for rapid, sensitive, and specific diagnosis of Crimean-Congo hemorr...

Lassa virus (LASV) is a zoonotic, hemorrhagic fever-causing virus endemic in West Africa, for which no approved vaccines or specific treatment options exist. Here, we report the genome sequence of LASV isolated from the first case of acquired Lassa fever disease outside of Africa.

Dengue is a vector-borne disease caused by dengue virus. According to the recent report of CDC that one-third population of the world are at high risk with Dengue fever. The prevalence of the dengue hemorrhagic fever was found more in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Aedes mosquitoes was reported as the main cause of transmission of dengue virus. So the current study was planned ...

BACKGROUND We describe the development and evaluation of a novel method for targeted amplification and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)-based identification of viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) agents and assess the feasibility of this approach in diagnostics. METHODOLOGY An ultrahigh-multiplex panel was designed with primers to amplify all known variants of VHF-associated viruses and relevant co...
