  • Pomen dokazovanja virusa CCHF v Sloveniji = The importance of CCHF virus diagnosis in Slovenia
    Petrovec, Miroslav ...
    Like other tick-transmitted zoonotic agents, CCHFV generally circulates in nature unnoticed in an enzootic tick-vertebrate-tick cycle. CCHF is a potentially fatal disease with mortality rates from 30 ... to 50%. CCHFV can be transmitted to humans by the bites of Ixodide ticks, by contact with blood or tissue from viremic lifestock or from person to person by contact with blood, blood-containing vomit or respiratory secretions. For this reason, in many CCHF outbreaks a large proportion of cases is found among health care workers and relatives of patients. CCHFV is distributed worldwide, including Asia, Africa, southeast Europe and the Middle East. The closest endemic regions to Slovenia are Macedonia and Kosovo, where severe epidemics has been described. Although CCHFV has been isolated from 31 species of ticks, Hyalomma sp. are the most important vectors of the virus. This tick species can be found in Slovenia. Furthermore, Slovenian people often travel to countries where CCHF is endemic. Taken all together with the posibility of hospital infections, theprompt and correct detection of CCHFV is very important even in our country. Additionally, since the early clinical manifestations of CCHF and HFRS (caused by hantaviruses) are virtually identical, rapid microbiological diagnosis of suspected cases is mandatory for distinguishing these two hemorrhagic fevers, mainly in areas where both diseases coexist. The diagnosisof CCHF and HFRS is performed in WHO Collaborating Centre for Arbovirus and Haemorrhagic Fever Reference and Research, Medical Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
