Not much time has passed since the outbreak of the Corona disease (late 2018), but people's information has gradually increased, but at the same time, similarities between this disease and other diseases are also observed.... One of them is the Crimean Congo fever, whose initial symptoms are similar to Covid-19.... If these diseases are mistaken or their diagnosis and treatment are delayed, it can cause it to appear...

So in this article, we intend to introduce the symptoms of this virus. ha And let's examine the similar symptoms of Crimean Congo fever and Corona...

What is Crimean Congo fever?

Crimea-Congo fever is a viral hemorrhagic fever that is transmitted by ticks, contact with disease-carrying animals and even contact with their carcasses.. This disease was first discovered in Crimea in 1944 and was known as Crimean fever.. In 1969, scientists realized that there was a febrile agent in this febrile disease in this disease.. 1956... the current name of this virus.

Crimea-Congo fever spreads to humans either through a tick bite or through contact with animal tissue... The cause of this disease is a virus that has a protein coating that has little resistance to heat and is destroyed after half an hour at a temperature of 56 degrees Celsius.... Also, this virus can remain in the blood for up to 10 days and resist for up to 10 days.... Therefore, cooking it in milk at high temperatures is recommended..

Symptoms of Crimean Congo fever

The length of the incubation period of this disease depends on how the virus is contracted.... Following infection by a tick, the incubation period is usually one to three days and a maximum of 9 days.... The incubation period after contact with blood or infected tissues usually lasts five to six days and a maximum of 13 days... During this period, the symptoms of Crimean Congo fever are as follows:

• Fever
• Muscle pain and back pain
• Dizziness and confusion
• Pain and stiffness in the neck
• Headache
• feeling of pain in the eye
• Photophobia (sensitivity to light)
• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain
• Sore throat
• Mood swings
• Fast heartbeat
• Bleeding under the skin
• Hepatitis
• Liver failure

After two to four days, the patient may experience spasms and abdominal pains in the right upper quadrant.. In this case, the disease can be diagnosed by an enlarged liver.. Other symptoms include rapid heart rate, lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes), skin rash (from the internal mucosa), bleeding on the surface of the mouth, throat and on the skin.

Ways to diagnose Crimean Congo fever

This infection can be diagnosed with several different tests:

• Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
• antigen detection
• Serum neutralization
• Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method
• Isolation of virus by cell culture

Usually, in the first few days of the disease, no measurable antibody response is observed in infected patients.... Therefore, the diagnosis of the disease in these people is done through RNA in blood or tissue samples.... As a result, after symptoms appear, you should go to the doctor to be sure of the presence of Crimean fever or corona disease by conducting a blood test

Treatment of Crimean Congo fever

Currently, there is no treatment or vaccine for Crimean Congo fever and the only treatment is to manage the symptoms of the disease... But the antiviral drug ribavirin is used to treat the infection and has many benefits... The patient can receive the medicine orally or intravenously... Also, to prevent and control the infection, you should minimize contact with ticks and use protective clothing in livestock farms.

What is the corona virus?

Coronavirus is a family of viruses that can cause respiratory diseases in humans.... Acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and the common cold are examples of coronaviruses that cause disease in humans.... The disease COVID-19 was first reported worldwide in December 2019.. The virus has since spread around the world..

Corona virus symptoms

This virus is among the new cases and doctors and scientists are learning new things about this virus every day... So far we have realized that covid-19 may not cause any symptoms in some people...symptoms may last 2 days or up to 2 weeks.

Some of the main symptoms of the corona virus are:

• shortness of breath
• Severe coughs
• Fever
• Shiver
• fatigue

less symptoms are:

• Headache
• Muscle pains
• Loss of taste or smell
• Congestion or runny nose
Gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea and vomiting

However, people with the coronavirus may have some or none of the above symptoms.. For example, fever is often considered the most common symptom of Covid-19.. However, a July 2020 study of 213 people with mild illness found that only 11.6% had a fever.

Ways to detect corona virus

Currently, tests for covid-19 tell you if you are sick or have already been infected with the virus... blood test and PCR test are two common types of tests, but PCR test is much more accurate and is done through the nose and throat.... At the beginning of the outbreak, the results were delayed, but with more awareness, the results are very fast, in less than an hour.

Corona virus treatment

Most people who contract the corona virus experience only mild symptoms and can recover at home.. Symptoms may last for a few days and the patient will feel better after a week. It is a corticosteroid that can help reduce the duration of using the respiratory system and save the lives of patients who are in acute and critical conditions.

The World Health Organization does not recommend self-treatment with any type of medicine, including antibiotics, as a prevention or treatment for patients.... In addition, these days, most of the countries in the world are vaccinating and these vaccines have shown good results.

According to what was said, the initial symptoms of these two diseases are completely similar, and if there is a mistake or delay in the necessary follow-up, time may be lost and the symptoms become much more dangerous... Symptoms similar to Corona and Crimean Congo fever include things such as fever and chills, dizziness, fatigue and lethargy, sore throat, diarrhea and vomiting, and muscle pains.

The degree of contamination and spread of these two diseases depends to a large extent on our behavior... We can reduce the spread of corona with regular instructions such as wearing a mask, not being in crowded centers and maintaining distance.... With the arrival of spring and summer, the spread of Crimean fever increases and animals must be slaughtered in suitable slaughterhouses... All steps must always be carried out under the supervision of reliable and principled centers in order to reduce the spread of Crimean fever and Corona. will decrease and eventually we will have fewer mistakes.

Conclusion

According to the points mentioned, by following the health tips, it is possible to prevent further spread and infection of these two diseases.... Also, if you have a lot of contact with animals and animal owners, if you see symptoms, you should take them seriously and see a doctor immediately.... Timely action will reduce secondary risks and save your life.... If you need advice, contact GCORPs[sibwp_form id=4]
