Özet
© Copyright 2015, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. 2015.Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a viral, tick-borne disease that can be fatal, especially in the adult patient population. CCHF involves multiple organ systems. Pericardial effusion, cardiac hypokinesia, T-wave changes, bundle branch block, and myocardial involvement can be seen as a cardiac complication of CCHF. Several different viruses like Coxsackie A/B and adenovirus may cause myocarditis and cardiomyopathy, but myocardial involvement of CCHF in children was rarely reported. We report a 13-year-old boy patient with myocarditis during the course of CCHF who has completely resolved after convalescent period of the disease.
