- W2994291346 abstract "Crimean–Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an acute febrile illness, often accompanied by haemorrhagic manifestations, with a high case fatality rate (CFR). The causative agent is CCHF virus (CCHFV), and is transmitted to humans mainly through tick bites or exposure to blood or tissues of viraemic patients or livestock. Human-to-human transmission usually occurs in hospital settings, and healthcare workers (HCWs) are mainly affected. A review on nosocomial CCHFV infections was performed to elucidate the routes and circumstances of CCHFV transmission in hospital settings. From 1953 to 2016, 158 published cases of CCHFV nosocomial infection in 20 countries in Africa, Asia and Europe were found. Almost all cases were symptomatic (92.4%), with an overall CFR of 32.4%. The majority of cases occurred in hospital clinics (92.0%) and 10 cases (8.0%) occurred in laboratories. Most cases occurred among HCWs (86.1%), followed by visitors (12.7%) and hospitalized patients (1.3%). Nursing staff (44.9%) and doctors (32.3%) were the most affected HCWs, followed by laboratory staff (6.3%). The primary transmission route was percutaneous contact (34.3%). Cutaneous contact accounted for 22.2% of cases, followed by exposure to aerosols (proximity) (18.2%), indirect contact (17.2%) and exposure to patient environment (8.1%). CCHFV can cause nosocomial infections with a high CFR. During the care and treatment of patients with CCHF, standard contact precautions, barrier precautions and airborne preventive measures should be applied. In order to improve patient safety and reduce healthcare-associated CCHFV exposure, there is a need for guidelines and education for HCWs to ensure that CCHF is appropriately included in differential diagnoses; this will enable early diagnosis and implementation of infection prevention measures." @default.
