克里米亚-刚果出血热（CCHF）是一种病毒性疾病，有几种不同的传播方式。我们描述的表现，结果，和可能的传播方式为三个医院病例。所有三例病例均为医护人员（两男一女）。他们有发烧，肌痛和瘀点。女性患者因弥漫性血管内凝血死亡。由于这种疾病表现为非特异性流感样症状，诊断可能很困难。这些患者的数据可用于调查这种病毒的空气传播或性传播，尽管这些患者的两种途径都没有得到证实。普遍预防措施的使用和早期病例发现是预防CCHF医院内传播的最有效策略。
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a viral disease with several different modes of transmission. We describe the manifestations, outcome, and likely modes of transmission for three nosocomial cases. All three cases were healthcare workers (two men and one woman). They had fever, myalgia, and petechia. Disseminated intravascular coagulation resulted in the death occurred in the woman. Because this disease is manifested with non-specific influenza-like symptoms, diagnosis can be difficult. Data for these patients can be used to investigate airborne or sexual transmission of this virus, although neither route was substantiated for these patients. Use of universal precautions and early case detection are the most helpful strategy for preventing nosocomial transmission of CCHF.
