ABSTRACT
A prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) is observed in patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) and is one of the risk factors for severe disease. The mechanism underlying a prolonged APTT is largely unknown. The presence of antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies in various viral infections has been documented but never reported in a patient with SFTS. We herein report the first SFTS patient with APTT prolongation and concurrent transiently positive aPL antibodies (lupus anticoagulants and anticardiolipin antibodies) with no coagulation factor deficiency.
