ABSTRACT
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging tick-borne disease caused by a novel bunyavirus. The mechanism underlying disease progression remains unknown, and effective treatment strategy for SFTS is yet to be completely established, making its increasing incidence and subsequent mortality a great concern. Here, we present the autopsy case of a patient with rapidly progressed, fatal SFTS infection. Her viral titer and serum cytokines levels were measured daily and compared with the values of a survivor of the infection. Our findings elucidate the clinical features and pathophysiology of SFTS.
