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 the similar 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. Key words: Bunyaviridae infections; Encephalitis, viral; Corpus callosum
