1984年9月，开普敦附近的泰格伯格医院发生了克里米亚-刚果出血热的医院暴发，当时7名医务人员在一名指示病人入院后患病。该疾病在该指数中是致死性的，1例继发病例，经病毒分离，在该指数中确诊，6例继发病例。在另一名患者身上表现出抗体反应，被认为是第三例，但患者接受免疫血浆治疗的事实引发了对诊断有效性的怀疑。该指示病例与扁虱和马匹有过接触，但他的感染不可能与特定事件有关。
A nosocomial outbreak of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever occurred in Tygerberg Hospital near Cape Town in September 1984 when 7 medical personnel became ill after admission of an index patient. The disease was fatal in the index and 1 secondary case, and was confirmed in the index and 6 secondary cases by isolation of the virus. An antibody response was demonstrated in the remaining patient, thought to be a tertiary case, but the fact that the patient received immune plasma therapy raises doubts about the validity of the diagnosis. The index case had contact with ticks and horses but his infection could not be related to a specific incident.
