Two Cases of Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Manifested with Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Successfully Treated with Steroids / 계명의대학술지

ABSTRACT

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging and potentially life-threatening tick-borne virus disease in Korea. It can be presented with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) as severe complicated cases. Here, we report two cases of SFTS associated HLH patients fully recovered with steroids and conservative treatment, even though they had high risk factors of poor prognosis.
