Özet

Background: Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an acute, tick-borne viral disease. In temperate areas, CCHF cases occur between spring and early autumn when tick activity is high. This period is also the pollen season during which symptoms of allergic diseases are exacerbated. Viruses induce inflammatory and antiviral responses by binding to specific receptors on the surface of airway epithelial. cells, resulting in activation of innate immune responses; release of mediators such as cytokines and chemokines; and recruitment of neutrophils and mononuclear cells to the area.
