Keywords: | haemorrhagic fever | Issue Date: | Aug-2023 | Publisher: | European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control | Journal: | Eurosurveillance | Abstract: | The last report of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) in North Macedonia was more than 50 years ago in the northwest. We report on a fatal CCHF case following a Hyalomma tick bite in the east of the country in July 2023. Tracing of 67 contacts identified CCHF in one healthcare worker (HCW) providing care for the patient. Monitoring of contacts is concluded (including further 11 HCW contacts), thus far 28 days after the death of the case no additional cases were identified. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12188/28417 | DOI: | 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.34.2300409 |
