Characteristics of headache and its relationship with disease severity in patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever.

CONCLUSION: CCHF patients had more often and severe headaches than the controls. The severity of headache may be associated with the severity of vascular endothelial damage, vasodilatation, and abnormal release of inflammatory cytokines in CCHF similar in migraine. Most CCHF patients experienced migraine-like headaches, suggesting that cerebral vessel involvement might be important in both CCHF and migraine. PMID: 29450871 [PubMed - in process]
