Abstract

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: In patients with CCHF, especially children, hematuria, proteinuria, oliguria and azotemia could have been found by urinalysis. Moreover, because of the fact that proteinuria and urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) levels could increase in children with CCHF; thus, monitoring of renal involvement related to CCHF by measurement of urine total protein and uNGAL is recommended.

Summary

Introduction

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: In patients with CCHF, especially children, hematuria, proteinuria, oliguria and azotemia could have been found by urinalysis. Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an acute hemorrhagic febrile viral disease, which is transmitted by a virus from the Arbovirus family of the Bunyaviridae family and the type of norovirus. This disease was considered as one of the most important hemorrhagic viral fevers in human owing to the high mortality ranging from 10% to 40% as well as possible nosocomial transmission [2].
