A case of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus related encephalitis / 中华神经科杂志

ABSTRACT

The severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV),a new RNA virus,was discovered in recent years,which can lead to fever,thrombocytopenia and multiple organ dysfunction.Picks is the main media A case of a SFTSV-related encephalitis diagnosed by second-generation gene sequencing was reported here.The patient had fever,disturbance of consciousness,convulsions,with thrombocytopenia and enzymatic indicators increased significantly.After active anti-virus and supportive treatment,the prognosis was good.It is our aim to suggest that,in the epidemic season,when you meet thesimilar patients like this,you should consider the possibility of SFTSV-related encephalitis.Virus nucleic acid detection and second-generation gene sequencing technology are helpful for timely diagnosis and treatment and reducing mortality of the disease.
