Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a severe viral infection caused by the Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever virus. The symptoms of CCHF typically include sudden fever, muscle aches, headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. As the disease progresses, patients may experience severe bleeding, including nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and blood in the urine or stool. In some cases, CCHF can lead to liver failure, kidney failure, and death. CCHF is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks or through contact with blood or tissues of infected animals, particularly livestock such as cattle, sheep, and goats. Healthcare workers caring for CCHF patients are at a higher risk of infection due to exposure to blood and bodily fluids. There is no specific treatment for CCHF, so medical care focuses on managing symptoms and providing supportive care. Prevention of CCHF involves avoiding contact with infected animals, wearing protective clothing such as gloves and masks when handling animals or caring for sick individuals, and using insect repellent to prevent tick bites. Early detection and isolation of cases are crucial in preventing the spread of the disease to others. Public health measures, such as tick control and awareness campaigns, are also important in preventing CCHF outbreaks.
