We studied characteristics of the patients with tick bites in our emergency department (ED) and determined the fatality rate of the disease in city of \u00c7orum for the first time. We retrospectively analysed the characteristics of the patients admitted to our ED from the medical files of 21,680 patients in a 5-year period. The number of patients with definite diagnosis and who have died was determined. Our results demonstrated that the fatality rate of CCHF in \u00c7orum is 6.78%. Among 21,680 patients, blood samples of 970 patients were sent to an advanced centre in Ankara for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. Results of 560 patients were reported to be PCR (+) and 38 of them have died.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0049475513519625","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,15]],"date-time":"2014-01-15T21:22:56Z","timestamp":1389820976000},"page":"86-88","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Characteristics of patients admitted to the emergency department due to tick bite"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Ali Kemal","family":"Erenler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Specialist Doctor in Emergency Medicine, Hitit University \u00c7orum Education and Research Hospital, Department of Emergency Medicine, \u00c7orum, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fuat","family":"Kulaksiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Specialist Doctor in Emergency Medicine, Hitit University \u00c7orum Education and Research Hospital, Department of Emergency Medicine, \u00c7orum, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H\u00fcseyin","family":"\u00dclger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Specialist Doctor in Emergency Medicine, Hitit University \u00c7orum Education and Research Hospital, Department of Emergency Medicine, \u00c7orum, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Murat","family":"Erdem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Specialist Doctor in Emergency Medicine, Hitit University \u00c7orum Education and Research Hospital, Department of Emergency Medicine, \u00c7orum, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cem","family":"Ko\u00e7ak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assistant Professor in Statistics, Hitit University Department of Statistics, \u00c7orum, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fatih","family":"S\u00f6ylemez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Practitioner Doctor, Hitit University \u00c7orum Education and Research Hospital, Department of Emergency Medicine, \u00c7orum, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00d6zkan","family":"\u00d6zt\u00fcrk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Practitioner Doctor, Hitit University \u00c7orum Education and Research Hospital, Department of Emergency Medicine, \u00c7orum, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmet","family":"Baydin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Associated Professor in Emergency Medicine, Ondokuzmayis University, Department of Emergency Medicine, Samsun, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0049475513519625","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijid.2007.09.010"},{"key":"bibr2-0049475513519625","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijid.2008.07.021"},{"key":"bibr3-0049475513519625","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijantimicag.2010.06.020"},{"key":"bibr4-0049475513519625","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-0691.2006.01445.x"},{"key":"bibr5-0049475513519625","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00365540601053014"},{"key":"bibr6-0049475513519625","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"11","DOI":"10.7883\/yoken.JJID.2009.11","volume":"62","author":"Izadi S","year":"2009","journal-title":"Jpn J Infect Dis"}],"container-title":["Tropical Doctor"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0049475513519625","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0049475513519625","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0049475513519625","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T13:28:52Z","timestamp":1777642132000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0049475513519625"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,15]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0049475513519625"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0049475513519625","relation":{},"ISSN":["0049-4755","1758-1133"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0049-4755","type":"print"},{"value":"1758-1133","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,15]]}}}
