Özet
In Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF), haemorrhagic manifestations are usually petechiae and ecchymoses on mucous membranes and skin. Rarely, there is bleeding from the nose, gingiva, gastro-intestinal tract, genito-urinary tract, brain and lungs. A 13-year-old boy with CCHF presented with gastro-intestinal bleeding and developed peritoneal and pleural effusion. He made a complete recovery with supportive treatment and ribavirin, without requiring chest or peritoneal fluid drainage. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CCHF associated with peritoneal and pleural fluid.
