Abstract
A rare case of Crimean haemorrhagic fever in a pregnant woman during the sixth month of gestation is described. The typical clinical course of the disease is present with positive anamnesis and visible locus from tick bite. After several days, fever and local lymphadenitis appear, followed by severe toxicoinfectious and haemorrhagic syndromes. The disease is proved virologically and serologically. The outcome is favourable for the pregnant woman. She is discharged home after 16-day hospital treatment. During the illness no complications of the fetus are documented. The pregnancy terminates with a normal-term delivery of a healthy newborn baby with birthweight of 3350g. The clinical and laboratory follow up of the baby showed no abnormalities. The case is of interest because of the rarely and often severe course of the disease during pregnancy. In this case the outcome is favourable for both the mother and the newborn child.Entities:
