• No clinical symptoms– Not known in veterinary medicine

• Viremia– Lasts for 7-10 days in mammals

Seropositive and/or PCR+ Animals in Turkey

• Cattle• Sheep• Wild boars• Hares• Ground feeding birds

The Suspected Case

1. Individuals, who had fever, myalgia, malaise, diarrhea, and

2. History of being in endemic area– Tick exposure history and/or– Residency or travel to CCHF endemic

region

The probable casePatients who had leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, elevated AST, ALT, and LDH levels.

Confirmed caseCCHF IgM of PCR positivity in the blood or body fluids of the patient.

Conclusions

One of every fıve persons living in endemic area, andone of two persons with tick bite history in endemicarea acquire the disease. The infection and attackrates are very high compared to other diseases.

55 individualsin endemic region,

30 dealing withhusbandry

19 individualswith historyof tick bite

IgG (+)8 /19 with tick bite history6 / 35 without tick bite history

6 individualswithout history of tick bite

11 patients

ResultsThe infection rate 0.27 (15/55)

The infection rate 0.42 among the individuals, who had the history of tick bite(p=0.046).

The attack rate 0.2 (11/55).

The Predictors of FatalityViral factorsHigh viral loadshown by recent studies for many VHFs

Cevik, et al. CID 2007

Host factorsCytokines: TNF alfa, IL1, IL6

Ergonul, et al. JID 2006

Why The Case Fatality Rates Are Different?

1) Different strains 2) Co-existent infections3) Host factors2) Health care facility

• Access• Quality

3) Public awareness

Page 15: Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever - WUR · The attack and the infection rates of Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Infection in an endemic region Önder Ergönül, Herve Zeller,

Pathogenesis

• Capillary fragility– “capillary toxicosis”, Soviet scientists– Infection of endothelium

• Coagulopathy• Multiple host induced mechanisms

– Massive apoptosis of lymhocytes– Induction of proinflammatory cytokines– Dysregulation of coagulation cascade– DIC

Tick removal: What is the best way?

Vaccination experience is limited to BulgariaEfficacy: We need more clarity

Bulgarian ExperiencePassive simultaneous transfer of two different specific immunoglobulin preparations,

“CCHF-bulin” (for intramuscular use) “CCHF-venin” (for intravenous use),

prepared from the plasma of CCHF survivor donors (Vassilenko et al., 1990).

Only 7 patients

Turkish Experience on CCHF1. Acceleration phase of the epidemic curve:

Every year, more cases than a year ago.2. Dissemination of the cases to the west.3. More HCWs have been effected.

1. Protection of HCWs2. Infection Control in Hospitals

4. Debate on ribavirin use: RCT?5. Personal protection

1. How to remove ticks?2. Repellents, permethrine
