CONCLUSION: According to the results of our study, it can be suggested that radiological examination in lungs should be performed primarily with CXR and pulmonary involvement (pleural effusion and consolidation) affects survival in CCHF negatively. As a result of CXR findings obtained based on the first examination and clinical follow-up within the first 5 days, consolidation in 74 patients (44.8%), pleural effusion in 64 patients (39.8%), ground glass opacity in 49 patients (29.7%), and atelectasis in 30 patients (18.2%) were detected (Fig. 2) . In a study performed on dengue hemorrhagic fever, a total of 468 CXR taken from 363 patients were examined and parenchymal infiltration and pleural effusion were observed in more than half of the patients on the third day of follow-up. ./cache/cord-006708-nionk55w.txt ./txt/cord-006708-nionk55w.txt
