Abstract

Background

The study of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) worldwide is of low rate as it is an uncommon disease. The outbreak in Iraq in 2022 is high.

Aim

To study the prognosis of hemorrhagic fever patients in Thi-Qar governorate, where the highest rate of the disease is, so that we might expect the fat of the disease.

Patients and Methods: A descriptive cases series of cross-section studies that included all patients with severe or life-threatening Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever(CCHF) PCR-positive cases (out of the total 100) admitted and followed up in AL-Hussain Teaching Hospital in 2022. To study patients' features that indicate the prognostic factors of the disease.

Results

All cases proved to be CCHF by PCR were 100 patients of variable severity, 14 cases were admitted to intensive care units (ICU), 13 patients died, 2 pregnant ladies were infected with CCHF unfortunately died, 16 children admitted to hospital 2 of them died and 14 cases completely cured. The most serious cases are intrapulmonary hemorrhage and neuropsychiatric presentation.

Conclusion

There are many clinical and laboratory prognostic markers. The riskiest clinical bad prognostic factor is the neuropsychiatric and pulmonary hemorrhage and CCHF in pregnant ladies.
