CRIMEAN-CONGO HEMORRHAGIC FEVER: REPORT OF TWO CASES

Abstract

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever is a zoonotic infection and it is one of viral hemorrhagic fever syndromes. Humans usually become infected by bites of ticks, contact with a patient in the acute phase of the disease or contact with the blood or tissues of viremic livestock. Case Report 1 A sixty year old female patient living in rural areas was admitted to the emergency service with the complaints of high fever, headache, epistaxis, generalized myalgia for three days. The patient was diagnosed with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and was hospitalized in the infectious diseases ward. The patient who received ribavirin therapy was discharged from the hospital after a full recovery. Case Report 2 A thirty nine year old male had applied to a medical center five days ago with the complaints of weakness, sore throat, generalized body pain, bleeding gums for eight days. Laboratory test results showed bicytopenia and high levels of liver function tests. The patient was diagnosed with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and was hospitalized in the infectious diseases ward. Neither supportive treatment nor antiviral treatment was administered to the patient. The high fever resolved and liver function tests returned to the normal values from the seventh day and the patient was discharged from the hospital after making a full recovery. Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever is a endemic disesase in Turkey. Early diagnosis and supportive treatment are crucial.
