Clinical Usefulness of Nested Reverse-Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Diagnosis of Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), caused by SFTS virus (SFTSV) is an emerging tick-borne infectious disease. Few studies have assessed the clinical usefulness of nested reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for diagnosing SFTS. We performed conventional RT-PCR targeting the M segment, nested RT-PCR targeting M and S segments, and real-time RT-PCR targeting the S segment of...
