“…The clinical presentation may range from a mild clinical course to severe and fatal progression. Recent outbreaks in Turkey have provided opportunities to detail the characteristics of the disease [80–86]. Patients frequently present with fever, fatigue, generalized pain, myalgia, nausea and vomiting, and diarrhoea, and in severe cases epistaxis, haematemesis, melena, haematuria, gingival bleeding, vaginal bleeding, petechiae or ecchymosis are also seen.…”

Turkey has significant geographical and socio-economic differences throughout a vast area of the country. These characteristics affect the epidemiology of infectious diseases, some of which are rarely seen in western Europe. However, effectively implemented control measures have resulted in decreased rates of many community-acquired infections, including tuberculosis and malaria, that were major health problems only a few decades ago. There are high rates of antimicrobial resistance in various nosocomial isolates of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. A recently implemented, nationwide, electronic resistance surveillance system in hospitals is expected to produce reliable data, and possibly will help to develop an effective strategy to decrease antimicrobial resistance in bacteria that currently plague many tertiary-care hospitals in the country. This article summarizes the most frequently encountered community-acquired infections, and gives an overview of current antimicrobial resistance in both outpatient and hospital settings in Turkey.

“…Literature case reports of CCHF-associated acute pancreatitis and acute nonsuppurative parotitis during the hemorrhagic phase of illness can be found, but no virologic confirmation in tissue was obtained in those cases ( 33 , 34 ). A case of acute epididymo-orchitis during the prehemorrhagic phase has also been reported ( 35 ).…”

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tickborne infection that can range from asymptomatic to fatal and has been described in >30 countries. Early identification and isolation of patients with suspected or confirmed CCHF and the use of appropriate prevention and control measures are essential for preventing human-to-human transmission. Here, we provide an overview of the epidemiology, clinical features, and prevention and control of CCHF. CCHF poses a continued public health threat given its wide geographic distribution, potential to spread to new regions, propensity for genetic variability, and potential for severe and fatal illness, in addition to the limited medical countermeasures for prophylaxis and treatment. A high index of suspicion, comprehensive travel and epidemiologic history, and clinical evaluation are essential for prompt diagnosis. Infection control measures can be effective in reducing the risk for transmission but require correct and consistent application.
