Summary
Atypical Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) diagnosis was challenging due to comorbidities. High suspicion for viral hemorrhagic fever is crucial in multisystem disease with potential exposure.
Area of Science:
- Infectious Diseases
- Virology
- Public Health
Background:
- Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a severe tick-borne viral illness.
