Nineteen cases of suspected Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever reported from Turkey.

In conclusion, we found some important differences in the hemostatic parameters between the patients with CS and healthy controls. Increased platelet count, fibrinogen, PAI-1, and decreased TFPI levels in these patients represent a potential hypercoagulable and hypofibrinolytic state, which might augment the risk for atherosclerotic and atherothrombotic complications. This condition may contribute to the excess of mortality due to cardiovascular disease seen in patients with CS.
