Crimean–Congo Hemorrhagic Fever
摘要
Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever is a severe viral illness caused by the CCHF virus. It is transmitted mainly through tick bites or contact with infected animal blood. CCHF virus is endemic in Africa, the Balkans, the Middle East, and Asia. The disease is characterized by fever, myalgia, and hemorrhagic manifestations in severe cases. The disease has a case-fatality rate ranging from 10% to 40%. Preventive measures emphasize tick control, safe animal-handling practices, and implementation of infection control protocols. Prompt diagnosis and supportive management are essential, despite the lack of widely accessible specific treatment or vaccine. Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever persists as a substantial public health concern owing to its elevated fatality rate and capacity for epidemics.
