Abstract

Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) disease
is a viral haemorrhagic fever syndrome present
in Turkey since 2002 [1]. CCHF is transmitted
by ticks and can be fatal. Thrombocytopenia and
coagulopathy can develop and, because of severe
bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, the prognosis
is poor. After 3-7 days of incubation, fever, headache,
fatigue, generalised muscle pain, nausea,
vomiting, and skin and mucosal haemorrhages can
occur [2]. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2016;6(1): 38-39
