Özet

Objectives: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a potentially fatal viral infection. The exact mechanism for hemorrhage remains unknown. Thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) is a plasma procarboxypeptidase B-like proenzyme and synthesized in the liver, down-regulating fibrinolysis. In this study, we measured the TAR activity in plasma of patients with CCHF to examine the relationship between hemorrhage and the pathogenesis of CCHF.
