Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever with Acute Subdural Hematoma, Mauritania, 2012
Journal: Emerging infectious diseases
Year: 2016

To the Editor: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) was first described in Crimea in 1944 and in the Congo in 1969. Since then, many cases in humans have been reported from different regions (1-3). The disease is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected tick or by direct contact with blood or tissue from infected humans and livestock. We report an unusual case of acute subdural hematoma secondary to CCHF.
