This report describes a pediatric case of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), which is an emerging disease that is caused by a novel bunyavirus. Interestingly, the previously reported SFTS cases typically involved elderly patients, while our case involved a 5-year-old child from Zhejiang Province, China. In this report, we describe our investigation of the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of this case, to improve our understanding of this emerging disease. Our principle finding was that the present case's clinical symptoms were milder than those that have been reported in adult cases of SFTS. Therefore, we recommend more careful screening of pediatric patients who present with mild symptoms that are consistent with SFTS.
本报告描述了一例小儿严重发热伴血小板减少综合征（SFTS）病例，该综合征是一种由新型布尼亚病毒引起的新发疾病。有趣的是，此前报道的SFTS病例通常涉及老年患者，而我们的病例是一名来自中国浙江省的5岁儿童。在本报告中，我们描述了对该病例临床和流行病学特征的调查，以增进我们对这种新发疾病的了解。我们的主要发现是，该病例的临床症状比成人SFTS病例中所报道的症状更为轻微。因此，我们建议对出现与SFTS相符的轻微症状的儿科患者进行更仔细的筛查。
