  • Title: Contact tracing and serosurvey among healthcare workers exposed to Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever in Greece.
    Author: Maltezou HC, Maltezos E, Papa A.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2009; 41(11-12):877-80. PubMed ID: 19922073.
    Abstract:
    We investigated the probability of nosocomial transmission of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus among healthcare workers (HCWs) who cared for the first CCHF case in Greece. Specific IgM and/or IgG antibodies against CCHF virus were not detected in the 21 HCWs studied. Although person-to-person transmission did not take place, education of HCWs about the modes of CCHF virus transmission and appropriate infection control measures is needed in order to avoid future nosocomial cases.
