Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) and Brucellosis Coinfection in Antalya: A Case Report

Abstract

The combination of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) and brucellosis is unusual and can easily go unnoticed. Herein we report a case of CCHF and brucellosis coinfection and review the pertinent literature. The presented case occurred in Alanya, where the non-endemic region of CCHF and critical bradycardia was present during the course. As Alanya is a tourism center and tours are given in the rural areas surrounding the city, it is essential to watch for possible signs of CCHF in patients.
