Özet: Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by the genus Nairovirus in the Bunyaviridea family. The virus that is the causative agent of the disease can be transmitted by contact with the infected animal's blood and body fluids or by contact with the infected patient's blood or body fluids. Zona, also known as herpes zoster, is a recurrent infection caused by reactivation of endogenous latent varicella zoster virus infection in the sensory ganglion. The retention of the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve, depending on the zone, is called an ophthalmic shingles (herpes zoster ophthalmicus) and is a serious complication. In this article, a 27-year-old male patient from the province of Çankırı is presented with Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever and ophthalmic shingles.
