Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging tick-borne infectious disease caused by (formerly SFTS virus, SFTSV). Its manifestations during the convalescent phase have not been widely described. We report a patient presenting with hematospermia, fatigue, myalgia, alopecia, insomnia, and depression during the recovery phase of SFTS. Since these symptoms are widely observed in patients with viral hemorrhagic fevers, there might be common mechanisms between SFTS and other viral hemorrhagic fevers. Close monitoring may be required during the recovery phase of SFTS.
严重发热伴血小板减少综合征(SFTS)是一种由(以前称为 SFTS 病毒,SFTSV)引起的新兴蜱传传染病。其恢复期的临床表现尚未广泛描述。我们报告了一名 SFTS 恢复期出现血精、疲劳、肌痛、脱发、失眠和抑郁的患者。由于这些症状在病毒性出血热患者中广泛观察到,SFTS 和其他病毒性出血热之间可能存在共同机制。SFTS 恢复期可能需要密切监测。
