Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a zoonotic disease, and its clinical information and prevalence are important. This study was conducted on 22 feline patients from the Republic of Korea (ROK), suspected to suffer from a tick-borne disease. Four cats were positive for SFTS, and genotypes B-1, B-3, D, and F were identified. Clinical symptoms, such as anorexia, jaundice, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and hyperbilirubinemia, were detected. This is the first report of SFTS virus genotypes B-1, D, and F from cats in the ROK. Moreover, our results suggest that jaundice may be an indicator of SFTS in cats.
严重发热伴血小板减少综合征（SFTS）是一种人畜共患病，其临床信息和流行情况很重要。本研究对来自韩国（ROK）的 22 只疑似患蜱传疾病的猫进行了研究。四只猫呈 SFTS 阳性，鉴定出基因型 B-1、B-3、D 和 F。检测到厌食、黄疸、血小板减少、白细胞减少和高胆红素血症等临床症状。这是首次从韩国猫中报告 SFTS 病毒基因型 B-1、D 和 F。此外，我们的结果表明，黄疸可能是猫患 SFTS 的一个指标。
