“…The patients were usually severe cases and had been admitted with hemorrhagic symptoms. Hepatomegaly (40%), splenomegaly (28%), paraceliac lymphadenopathy (48%), gallbladder wall thickening (36%), increased echogenicity in the renal parenchyma (40%), and fluid/effusion in the perihepatic, perisplenic, pleural, and hepatorenal recesses (52%) were the primary findings [Tufan et al, ]. In another study which included 210 patients with CCHF, sonographic findings revealed that the presence of ascites is a very rare complication observed in only 1.4% of patients.…”

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a fatal systemic viral infection which is an important health problem in Turkey. Many systemic symptoms have been reported including fever, hemorrhage, headache, fatigue, muscle ache, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. A 45-year-old male farmer with CCHF presented with massive peritoneal effusion and hyperbilirubinemia. To our knowledge, this is the first case of peritoneal effusion and hyperbilirubinemia in an adult patient with CCHF. His clinical symptoms successfully improved with supportive therapy. In patients who live in endemic areas with atypical presentation for the diagnosis of CCHF should be kept in mind.

“…4 Radiologic findings include hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, paraceliac lymphadenopathy, and effusion in the perihepatic, perisplenic, pleural, and hepatorenal recesses of the subhepatic space as well as between the intestinal loops. 4,5 Diagnosis of CCHF is based on detection of viral RNA by real time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and/or the presence of specific IgM antibodies (viral nucleocapsid and glycoprotein precursor antibodies: N-IgM and GPC-IgM). 6 Although many studies have tried to clarify the pathogenesis of CCHF, advances have been limited due to the virulence of the disease, which complicates animal studies.…”

“…88 Similarly, in a multivariate analysis in CCHF, gallbladder wall thickening, and intra-abdominal fluid collections were found to be significantly associated with disease severity. 89,90 Validation of a standardized POCUS protocol to diagnose and predict severity of VHF in epidemic situations and to adapt monitoring and supportive treatment accordingly appears worthwhile.…”

Abstract. The development of good quality and affordable ultrasound machines has led to the establishment and implementation of numerous point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) protocols in various medical disciplines. POCUS for major infectious diseases endemic in tropical regions has received less attention, despite its likely even more pronounced benefit for populations with limited access to imaging infrastructure. Focused assessment with sonography for HIV-associated TB (FASH) and echinococcosis (FASE) are the only two POCUS protocols for tropical infectious diseases, which have been formally investigated and which have been implemented in routine patient care today. This review collates the available evidence for FASH and FASE, and discusses sonographic experiences reported for urinary and intestinal schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, viral hemorrhagic fevers, amebic liver abscess, and visceral leishmaniasis. Potential POCUS protocols are suggested and technical as well as training aspects in the context of resourcelimited settings are reviewed. Using the focused approach for tropical infectious diseases will make ultrasound diagnosis available to patients who would otherwise have very limited or no access to medical imaging.
