Study sheds light on connection between metabolism and fatigue after Crimean-Congo fever

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) spreads via ticks and is on the World Health Organization's (WHO) list of priority diseases, with a high case fatality rate and no or insufficient countermeasures. A recent study published by researchers from Karolinska Institutet in collaboration with Sivas Cumhuriyet University, Turkey, sheds light on the connection between CCHFV infection and prolonged fatigue.
