本文介绍了临床，流行病学和实验室调查进行分离和确定的病原体的医院聚集性出血热病例由于克里米亚出血热（CHF）-刚果病毒。由于这种病毒通常由蜱传播，令人惊讶的是，在游牧牧羊人中的指示病例发生在蜱相对不活跃的冬季。这是在巴基斯坦发现的第一例CHF-刚果病毒病例。伊斯兰堡实验室正在继续调查其他生物特性，特别是菌株差异和毒性。
This paper describes the clinical, epidemiological and laboratory investigations undertaken to isolate and identify the etiological agent of a nosocomial cluster of hemorrhagic fever cases due to Crimean hemorrhagic fever(CHF)-Congo virus. Since this virus is usually transmitted by ticks it was surprising that the index case, in a nomadic shepherd, occurred during the winter season when ticks are relatively inactive. These are the 1st cases of CHF-Congo virus found in humans in Pakistan. Investigations on other biological properties, particularly strain differences and virulence, are being continued at the Islamabad laboratory.
