Abstract

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a potentially fatal systemic disease in children caused by a tick- borne virus. Many different clinical and laboratory findings are seen in CCHF. We report here an atypical presentation of CCHF with hyponatremia. CCHF with electrolyte imbalance is not reported before. A 4-year-old girl presented with fever, fatigue and unconsciousness with hyponatremia. Based on the clinical and epidemiological findings, virus infection was suspected. Hyponatremia is has never been reported in Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), as was observed in this case. The diagnosis was confirmed by detection of IgM antibody to CCHF virus and positive Real-Time PCR. We report the first case of imported CCHF presenting as hyponatremia. This electrolyte imbalance has never been reported before in CCHF in children, and the clinician should consider this entity in complications to explain unconsciousness.
