Country with low risk (presence of vector)
50 to 200 cases per year
5 to 49 cases per year
50° North limit for the geographic distribution of genus Hyalomma ticks

• Stable local foci in the nature• Virus is circulated between ticks and wild/domestic animals• Foci expand after ecological changes

The Course of Infection in animals
• 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
– Partridges etc.

Clinical Features

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
15
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
Dr. Nikolai Kalvatchev
22
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
