title: Acute Complicated Brucellosis Mimicking Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) and Vice Versa
abstract: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), endemic to Asia, Africa, and southern Europe, is a tick-borne disease caused by the CCHF virus (Orthonairovirus in Nairoviridae family). The main route of transmission is tick bite, and close contact with virus-infected blood/tissues of humans or animals may also transmit the infection. CCHF is considered a significant public health problem with case fatality rate (CFR) of 5.4-80%
