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.
发热伴血小板减少综合征（SFTS）是一种新发传染病，在中国六个流行省份流行，于 2009 年被确认为一种新型布尼亚病毒引起。该病呈进行性发展，具有潜在致命性。SFTS 通常以散发形式出现，被认为是一种蜱传疾病。在此，我们报告了一组三例确诊 SFTS 患者和一例可能 SFTS 患者，其流行病学数据显示具有人际传播特征。该指数病例和两例二代病例均死亡。均未报告蜱叮咬史。
