Krimska-kongo hemoragijska groznica prepoznata je prvi put u Jugoslaviji 1971. godine. Članak prikazuje kliničke i laboratorijske karakteristike kod bolesnika sa krimskom-kongo hemoragijskom groznicom inficiranog tokom boravka na Kosovu 1999. godine. Bolest se manifestovala febrilnošću, glavoboljom, povraćanjem, bolovima u mišićima, bolom u trbuhu, upalom ždrela, konjunktivnom injekcijom, prolivom, hipotenzijom, krvarenjem iz desni, krvarenjima na koži, hematurijom, uvećanjem jetre i slezine, žuticom, smanjenjem broja trombocita, produženim trombinskim i parcijalnim tromboplastinskim vremenom, povećanjem degradacionih produkata fibrinogena, leukocitozom, blažom anemijom, povišenjem serumskih vrednosti bilirubina i aminotransferaza. Dijagnoza je postavljena klinički, epidemiološki, a podržana serološkim testovima. U terapiji je najvažnije bilo suzbijanje hipotenzije, multiorganskih oštećenja, poremaćaja koagulacije uz izolaciju i primenu profilaktičkih mera.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever was for the first time recognized in Yugoslavia in 1971. In this paper were presented clinical and laboratory findings of a patient infected with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in Kosovo in 1999. The disease was manifested with fever, headache, vomiting, myalgia, abdominal pain, pharyngitis, conjunctival injection, diarrhoea, hypotension, gingival bleeding, skin hemorrhages, hematuria, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, jaudice, thrombocytopenia, prolonged prothrombin and partial thromboplastin time, high serum fibrinogen degradation product, leukocytosis, mild anemia, elevated levels of bilirubin and serum aminotransferases. Diagnosis was set clinically, epidemiologically and supported by serological tests. Supportive management of hypotension, multi-organ failure, coagulation disturbances the patient was of the utmost in the treatment together with the isolation and prophylactic measures.
