They might experience a focal hemorrhage in mucosa of gingival, uterus, and lungs, a papulovesicular rash on the soft palate, cervical lymphadenopathy (it occurs in the neck which that enlarges the lymph glandular tissue), and occasional neurological involvement.
The virus was discovered by Mikhail Chumakov and his colleagues between 1945 and 1947 in Omsk, Russia.
Humans can also become infected through contact with blood, feces or urine of a dead or sick muskrat (or any type of rat).
The muskrat Ondatra zibethicus which is highly susceptible to this virus was introduced into this area in the 1930s.
This helps maintain hydration and provides precautions for patients with bleeding disorders.
Preventing Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever consists primarily in avoiding being exposed to tick.
Persons engaged in camping, farming, forestry, hunting (especially the Siberian muskrat) are at greater risk and should wear protective clothing or use insect repellent for protection.
