Abstract:
Crimean hemorrhagic fever infection in Rostov Oblast was recorded for the first time in May and June 1963. The infection was distinctly of a professional character of 12 persons, 9 were milkmaids, 2 dairy farm labourers, 1 surgeon, and one 6 year-old child. Most infected persons milkmaids associated their illness with attached or squashed Hyalomma plumbeum plumbeum ticks 3 to 10 days prior to onset of illness. One patient stated that a few days before onset of illness he removed a tick from a cow. The surgeon became ill 5 days after making a blood transfusion to a woman patient ill with hemorrhagic fever. This occurrence, in the absence of other epidemiological data, may be considered as the cause of illness. Author
