A Rare Cause of Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever Disease
Journal Title: Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) disease is a viral haemorrhagic fever syndrome present in Turkey since 2002 [1]. CCHF is transmitted by ticks and can be fatal. Thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy can develop and, because of severe bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, the prognosis is poor. After 3-7 days of incubation, fever, headache, fatigue, generalised muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, and skin and mucosal haemorrhages can occur [2]. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2016;6(1): 38-39 Key words: CCHF, endoscopy, gastrointestinal bleeding
