Abstract :
Southeast of Iran is an endemic area for Malaria and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF). In 1999, we faced with an outbreak of CCHF in Sistan and Baluchistan Province, in the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The most cases of Malaria in Iran are also reported from this area. This article presents a 17-year-old woman who admitted to our hospital because of acute fever, head- ache, epistaxis, hemorrhagic lesions on the skin and vaginal bleeding. Finally, she was recog- nized as a case that was co –infected with CCHF and malaria.
