We described a series of imported cases of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) in Istanbul and investigated the genetic diversity of the virus. All the suspected cases of CCHF, who were applied to the health centers in Istanbul, were screened for CCHF virus (CCHFv) infection by using semi-nested Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) following RT-PCR. Simultaneous blood samples were also sent to th...
In countries from which Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is absent, the causative virus, CCHF virus (CCHFV), is classified as a hazard group 4 agent and handled in containment level (CL)-4. In contrast, most endemic countries out of necessity have had to perform diagnostic tests under biosafety level (BSL)-2 or -3 conditions. In particular, Turkey and several of the Balkan countries have...
Background: We aimed to determine diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of clinical laboratory findings in patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF).
Until now, the pathogenesis of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) has not been well described. However, it has been hypothesized that it could be a result of the direct injury of virus-infected tissues in combination with the indirect effects of host immune responses, including cytokines. To shed more light on the role of viral load and cytokines, differential influences of CCHF virus (CCHF...
Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) has been in the news with reports of its outbreak in India from Gujarat. CCHF is caused by a virus which is a member of the Nairovirus genus of the family Bunyaviridae. All of these viruses are transmitted by either ixodid or argasid ticks. Humans get this infection after a bite of an infected tick or from one infected human to another by contact with infe...
This study was conducted in order to evaluate individuals' knowledge about protection against Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF). This descriptive study was carried out among 478 persons, to whom a Family Health Center located within boundaries of Erzurum Metropolitan Municipality, provides health service. A questionnaire form developed by the researchers was used for collecting data. Seven...
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus was transmitted from infected adult Hyalomma ticks to uninfected larval and nymphal Hyalomma ticks while cofeeding on a guinea pig host that did not have a detectable viremia. When tested after feeding with infected adults, three (0.8%) of 370 H. truncatum larvae contained detectable CCHF virus (mean virus titer 10(1.6) plaque-forming units [PFU]/tic...
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne viral disease. Its pathogenesis basically involves endothelial damage. The aim of this study was to determine serum IL2, IL6, IL 10 and 25 OH Vitamin D levels in patients with CCHF and also to reveal their role in the clinical course and prognosis of the disease. Diagnosis of CCHF was confirmed using the positive polymerase chain reaction ...
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the clinical course and prognosis of serum levels of β-defensin-2 (BD-2) in patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology of the Faculty of Medicine, Ataturk University, were considered for inclusion in th...
BACKGROUND Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne infection caused by a virus (CCHFV) from the Bunyaviridae family. Domestic and wild vertebrates are asymptomatic reservoirs for the virus, putting animal handlers, slaughter-house workers and agricultural labourers at highest risk in endemic areas, with secondary transmission possible through contact with infected blood and other...
