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...

introduction crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is an acute viral zoonotic disease, which is endemic in vast geographic areas including the middle east. the causative agent, crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus (cchfv), is a nairovirus, which is mainly transmitted to human from infected hard ticks and viremic livestock. discussion given that viremic livestock are the main source of cchf ou...

conclusion we recommend that in outbreaks of cchf, care to prevent airborne transmission should be kept in mind. patient and method by a nosocomial transmission of crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf), a health care worker was infected in december 2008 due to a re-emerging outbreak of cchf in fars province, iran. after admission of probable cchf cases in a local hospital, one of the nurses co...

conclusions this study showed that this novel one-step rrt-pcr assay is a rapid, reliable, repeatable, specific, sensitive, and simple tool for the detection of the cchf virus. results from a total of 75 suspected serum samples, 42 were confirmed to be positive for cchf virus, with no false-positives detected by the sequencing results. after 40 amplification cycles, the melting curve analysis r...

conclusions continuous training is necessary to improve the knowledge and awareness of the highest-risk groups with regard to the transmission modes, prevention, symptoms, and treatment of this disease. objectives this study is a retrospective descriptive survey based on data collected from the health center of khuzestan province, iran, during 1999 - 2015. patients and methods patients with sym...
