| Summary: | Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a viral hemorrhagic disease that has been reported in Turkey since 2002. Although pathogenesis of the disease has not yet been clearly explained, it has been found that CCHF disease damages the reticuloendothelial system. Many diseases, such as brucella, leptospira, B12 deficiency, and malignancies that damage the reticuloendothelial system, have similar clinical features with CCHF. In the current study, 6 cases that were dispatched with CCHF pre-diagnosis to the Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology Clinic of Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Training and Research Hospital between 2008 and 2009 are discussed herein. Afterwards, patients were hospitalized with different diagnoses. This study is presented to highlight the differential diagnoses of CCHF. |
