Big Epidemic of Small City: Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever
CONCLUSION: CCHF is an important public health problem that has been causing seasonal epidemics in our country for nearly two decades. Although sporadic cases have been reported from almost every region, the disease is endemic in some areas. Since signs and symptoms are not specific, the disease can be easily missed when tick contact is not questioned. Therefore CCHF should be considered in patients presenting with fever and thrombocytopenia in rural areas, especially in the spring and summer months.PMID:38149444 | DOI:10.4274/tpd.galenos.2023.39200
