Atypical presentation of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever: Lessons learned. S Afr Med J. 2019 Jan 31;109(2):91-94 Authors: Krüger HJ, De Wet R, Blumberg LH, Weyer J, Lemke FG Abstract An atypical case of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever is presented. The diagnosis of the case in the presence of several comorbidities was complicated and illustrates the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for viral haemorrhagic fever in cases presenting with multisystem disease and an epidemiological history that could present opportunities for exposure to a haemorrhagic fever virus.
