目的：描述新发疾病全球负担的资料来源有限。我们回顾了ProMED报告的克里米亚-刚果出血热病毒（CCHFV）感染，并评估了检索到的数据与已发表报告相比的可靠性。我们通过关注CCHFV感染来评估ProMED作为流行病学数据来源的有效性。方法：使用ProMED搜索引擎中的关键词“克里米亚刚果出血热”和“克里米亚刚果”，我们回顾了所有关于新闻的信息，并使用结构化表格收集数据，包括年份、国家、性别、职业、感染人数和死亡病例数。结果：我们确定了1998年1月至2013年10月期间报告的383个条目。共报告了3426例感染病例，其中451例死亡病例，总病死率为13%。在报告性别的144例病例中，97例（67%）为男性。大多数病例报告来自土耳其，其次是俄罗斯，伊朗，巴基斯坦和Afghanistan.Conclusions：病例报告系统，如ProMED是有用的，以收集信息和综合知识的新出现的感染。虽然某些领域需要改进，但ProMED提供了关于克里米亚-刚果出血热的良好信息。(C)2014由Elsevier Ltd代表国际传染病学会出版。这是一个CC BY-NC-ND许可下的开放获取文章。
Objective: There are limited sources describing the global burden of emerging diseases. We reviewed the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) infections reported by ProMED and assessed the reliability of the data retrieved compared to published reports. We evaluated the effectiveness of ProMED as a source of epidemiological data by focusing on CCHFV infections.Methods: Using the keywords "Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever'' and "Crimean Congo'' in the ProMED search engine, we reviewed all the information about the news and harvested data using a structured form, including year, country, gender, occupation, the number of infected individuals, and the number of fatal cases.Results: We identified 383 entries reported between January 1998 and October 2013. A total 3426 infected cases were reported, with 451 fatal cases, giving an overall case fatality rate (CFR) of 13%. Out of 144 cases for which the gender was reported, 97 (67%) were male. Most of the cases were reported from Turkey, followed by Russia, Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.Conclusions: Case reporting systems such as ProMED are useful to gather information and synthesize knowledge on the emerging infections. Although certain areas need to be improved, ProMED provided good information about Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever.
