The article is devoted to the study of epidemiology, clinical features of Crimean hemorrhagic fever (CHF). A differential diagnosis with fevers, predominant in the Astrakhan region has been performed. The incidence rate for 2000-2009 according to the gender, age and occupation has been studied. The results of clinical and epidemiological examination of inpatients of the Regional Infectious Clinical Hospital of Astrakhan are presented. On the basis of the 128 cases the morbidity in 2000-2009 has been analyzed. The intensity distribution of CHF in the areas of the Astrakhan region has been investigated. At the present stage CHF occurs in moderate to severe forms with a peak incidence in June.
