Temporal Changes in Sonographic Findings as Predictors of Disease Severity in Crimean–Congo Hemorrhagic Fever

Abdominal US serves as a complementary, non-invasive modality in the clinical evaluation and follow-up of patients with suspected CCHF. The correlation between US findings and SSI scores, together with the temporal evolution of sonographic changes, highlights its potential to be incorporated into future disease severity scoring systems as a non-invasive prognostic indicator. Routine use of abdominal US, particularly in endemic regions, may provide meaningful support in the early detection of complications, dynamic assessment of disease severity, and objective monitoring of treatment response, thereby enhancing clinical decision-making.
