Imported Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2005
ABSTRACT Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne disease that may also be transmitted through person-to-person transmission by exposure to infected body fluids. Despite its wide geographic distribution in animals, CCHF virus is rarely associated with recognized human diseases. We report the first case of imported CCHF in France.
