Molecular Signatures of Inflammatory Profile and B-Cell Function in Patients with Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome

Abstract excerpt

SFTSV is an emerging virus discovered in China in 2009; it has since spread to other countries in East Asia. Although the fatality rates of SFTSV infection range from 5.3% to as high as 27%, the mechanisms underlying clinical manifestations are largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that SFTSV infection in fatal cases caused an excessive inflammatory response through high induction of proinflammatory...
