重症发热伴血小板减少综合征（SFTS）是2009年发现的一种由布尼亚病毒引起的新型传染病，在我国六个流行省份均有发生。它是渐进性的，可能致命。SFTS通常作为散发病例发生，被认为是蜱传播疾病。在这里，我们提出了一组三名患者证实SFTS和一个可能的SFTS，流行病学数据显示人与人之间的传播特征。索引患者和2例继发患者死亡。没有人报告蜱虫叮咬。(c)2012年国际传染病学会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease in six epidemic provinces of China and was identified to be caused by a novel bunyavirus in 2009. It is progressive in nature and potentially fatal. SFTS usually occurs as sporadic cases and is considered a tick-transmitted disease. Here we present a group of three patients with proven SFTS and one with probable SFTS, for whom the epidemiological data show person-to-person transmission characteristics. The index patient and two secondary patients died. None reported a tick bite. (c) 2012 International Society for Infectious Diseases. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
