Abstract

Severe febrile thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a tick-borne infectious disease that is endemic in parts of eastern Asia. Few pediatric cases have been reported. We describe a case of SFTS in a seven-year-old girl who presented with prolonged fever and gastrointestinal symptoms. Leukopenia and thrombocytopenia on hematology, and a history of outdoor activity led us to diagnose SFTS, although the patient had no tick bite marks. We also review the literature and discuss the characteristics of pediatric SFTS. Physicians should consider SFTS in the differential diagnosis of fever with thrombocytopenia in children living in endemic areas.

小儿严重发热性血小板减少综合征：病例报告和文献综述。

严重发热血小板减少综合征（SFTS）是一种蜱媒传染病，在亚洲东部部分地区流行。儿科病例鲜有报道。我们描述了一例七岁女孩的严重发热性血小板减少综合征病例，该女孩表现为长期发热和胃肠道症状。虽然患者身上没有蜱虫叮咬的痕迹，但血液学检查结果显示白细胞和血小板减少，而且患者有户外活动史，因此我们诊断其为自发性蜱虫病。我们还回顾了相关文献，并讨论了小儿 SFTS 的特征。医生在鉴别诊断生活在地方病流行地区的发热伴血小板减少的儿童时应考虑 SFTS。
