Abstract
Crimean - Congo Hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a viral hemorrhagic fever of the Nairovirus
group. It infects humans principally by the bite of Hyaloma ticks. Highly infectious blood and
tissues also has caused several alarming nosocomial hospital outbreaks. Most of the infected cases
are sub clinical (80%). The mortality rate of fulminate CCHF is about 20 – 50%.
The disease presents itself as a severe hemorrhagic fever. Hematemesis, melena, epistaxis and
subcutaneous hemorrhage are different types of bleeding during the disease.
Neurologic complications include encephalitis, optic neuropathy and intracerebral hematoma.
We report a 20 - year old male with CCHF and extensive intracerebral hematoma who improved
within 1 month after treatment. To the best of author’s knowledge this is the first case of CCHF
with intracerebral hematoma.
