According to doctors at Jamnagar, Gujarat, a 51-year-old man has died of Crimean-Cogo hemorrhagic fever, or CCHF-a deadly viral disease, which causes severe organ failure. Usually known as Congo fever, the case is fatal to the first report from the infection in the last five years.

Officials said a person identified as a cattle breeder was admitted to a local city hospital last week and died six days later during treatment. His blood sample was then sent to a laboratory in Pune, which confirmed the presence of the virus. News reports states that the state health department has increased monitoring in the area near the man’s residence and his family members have been advised to maintain cleanliness to stop further matters.

In addition to Jamnagar Medical College, Dean Dr. SS Chatterjee said, “This is the first case reported in the city in five years.”

What is Crimean-Cogo hemorrhagic fever,

According to the World Health Organization, Cchf is a comprehensive disease caused by a tick-borne virus (Narovirus) of Weavers The family, which causes outbreak of severe viral hemorrhagic fever, a case with a fatal rate of 10–40 percent.

Cchf is spatial to the 50th parallel north in Africa, Balkan, Middle East and Asian countries – the geographical boundary of the major tick vector. Experts say the hosts of the Cchf virus include a wide range of wild and domestic animals such as cattle, sheep and goats. Many birds are resistant to infection, but ostrich are susceptible and can show a high proliferation of infection in spatial regions, where they are at the core of human affairs.

How the virus is broadcast to humans,

Doctors say that the CCHF virus is transmitted through either tick cutting or during slaughter and immediately after contact with infected animal blood or tissues. Most of the cases are among those involved in the livestock industry, such as agricultural laborers, slaughterhouses and veterinarians.

Human-to-human transmission may result in close contact with blood, secretion, organs, or other physical fluids of infected individuals. Hospital-methodicated infection can also be caused by improper sterilization of medical devices, reusing needles of needles and contamination of medical supply.

Symptoms and symptoms of cchf

Doctors say that the length of the incubation period of the infection depends on the mode of acquisition of the virus. After infection from a tick cutting, the incubation period is usually one to three days, with a maximum of nine days. Some symptoms caused by the virus include:

• High fever
• Myalgia or muscle aches
• Dizziness
• Neck pain
• Rigidness
• backache
• Headache
• sore eyes
• Sensitivity or sensitivity
• nausea and vomiting,
• Diarrhea
• Abdominal pain
• sore throat
• Rapid mood
• Confusion and illusion
• Fan
• Depression
• Fast heart rate
• Enhanced lymph nodes
• Gall bladder

According to experts, the death rate from Cchf is about 30 percent with deaths occurring in the second week of the disease. In patients recovering, improvement usually begins on the ninth or tenth day after the onset of the disease.

How can you stop infection?

Experts say that it is difficult to stop or control Cchf in animals and the tick-Janavar-tick cycle usually does not pay attention and infections in domestic animals are usually not clear. In addition, tick vectors are many and broad, so tick control with chemicals is only a realistic option for well -managed livestock production facilities.

No vaccines are available for use in animals.

For humans, Eastern Europe has a vaccine against a small -scale developed and used CCHF, but currently no safe and effective vaccine is available for human use. In the absence of a vaccine, the only way to reduce infection in people is to raise awareness about risk factors and educate people about measures that they can do to reduce the contact with the virus.
