Study suggests new antibody therapy for tick-borne disease

Health technology can be useful, but it becomes risky when people mistake consumer sensors for medical devices. The key is understanding what the data actually shows and what it doesn’t.

Reporting

Phys.org Medical Research reports that Study suggests new antibody therapy for tick-borne disease. Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is a dangerous virus spread by ticks. It transmits Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), a serious disease that has been spreading into new regions worldwide. Capable of killing up to 40% of people infected, it currently has no widely approved, highly effective treatments or vaccines. The key issue is evidence: what the device measures, how reliable the measurement is, who can safely use it, and where medical guidance is still needed.
