严重发热伴血小板减少综合征（SFTS）是一种蜱传病毒性疾病，死亡率高。感染也可以通过与受感染的患者密切接触发生。恙虫病是一种由恙虫病东方体引起的急性发热性疾病，是一种通过恙螨叮咬传播给人类的细菌。韩国是SFTS和丛林斑疹伤寒的流行地区。在这项研究中，我们证实了一名患者同时感染了SFTS病毒和两种基因型的O。恙虫病。
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a tick-borne viral disease with a high mortality rate. Infection can also occur through close contact with an infected patient. Scrub typhus is an acute febrile illness caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, a bacterium transmitted to humans through chigger mite bites. South Korea is an endemic region of SFTS and scrub typhus. In this study, we confirmed that a patient was coinfected with SFTS virus and two (Boryong and Taguchi) genotypes of O. tsutsugamushi.
