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 ...

Serum was harvested tested for presence immunoglobulin G (IgG) M (IgM) antibodies against Crimean-Congo fever (CCHF), Ebola vir...

The review presents an analysis of the epidemiological and epizootiological situation on Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) in Russian Federation 2022. incidence rate CCHF registered 2022 (59 cases) was 1.2 times higher as compared to 2021, however, below long-term average annual values. mortality 10.2 %, which exceeds indicators observations (in 2012–2021 – 3.2 %).

crimean- congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is a viral zoonotic tick-born disease with a mortality rate of up to 50% in humans. after a short incubation period, the disease is characterized by sudden fever, chills, severe headache, dizziness, back, and abdominal pain. additional symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, neuropsychiatric, and cardiovascular changes. in severe cases, hemorrhag...

BACKGROUND Patients infected with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus present with a wide clinical spectrum. In observational studies, the effects of therapeutic agents are confounded by severity. We describe use of a clinical severity scoring index (SSI) for CCHF patients and assess the effect of ribavirin and corticosteroid therapy on the case-fatality rate, stratified by SSI. METH...

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is the most important tick-borne viral disease of humans, causing sporadic cases or outbreaks of severe illness across a huge geographic area, from western China to the Middle East and southeastern Europe and throughout most of Africa. CCHFV is maintained in vertical and horizontal transmission cycles involving ixodid ticks and a variety of wild and domest...

Several important human diseases worldwide are caused by tick-borne viruses. These diseases have become important public health concerns in recent years. The tick-borne viruses that cause diseases in humans mainly belong to 3 families: Bunyaviridae, Flaviviridae, and Reoviridae. In this review, we focus on therapeutic approaches for several of the more important tick-borne viruses from these 3 ...

BACKGROUND/AIM In this observational study, the effects of oral ribavirin on clinical and laboratory parameters and blood products use in patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) were evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS CCHF patients (n = 100) who were hospitalized between 2007 and 2010 were included. Oral ribavirin was administered to 56 patients with symptom duration less than 5 da...

SIK,-A case of haemorrhagic fever caused by Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus' in May, 1983, in a parient who lived in Selibaby, south-eastern Mauritania, prompted an epidemiological survey in this area in March, 1984. The area around Selibaby is undifferentiated dry savannah. It is an important cattle-raising area, especially during the dry season when herds migrate from the north ...
