¿Qué es Thrombocytopenia syndrome?

SFTS was first identified in 2009 in rural areas of China, following a cluster of patients presenting with unexplained fever and low platelet counts. Researchers subsequently isolated the causative agent, the SFTS virus. This discovery helped to characterize a previously unknown infectious disease prevalent in certain East Asian regions.

Síntomas

Early Stage: Sudden high fever, fatigue, muscle aches, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain.
Severe Cases: Bleeding manifestations (e.g., skin spots, nosebleeds), enlarged lymph nodes, neurological issues, multi-organ dysfunction.

Transmisión

The primary mode of transmission for SFTS is through the bite of infected ticks, particularly the *Haemaphysalis longicornis* species. While rare, human-to-human transmission can occur through direct contact with blood or other body fluids from an acutely ill patient, especially in healthcare settings or during post-mortem examination.

Período de Contagio: Varies by disease

Prevención

Avoid tick bites: Wear long clothing, use insect repellents (e.g., DEET, permethrin) when outdoors.
Check body for ticks after outdoor activities and remove them promptly and correctly.
Avoid contact with wild animals, especially small mammals, which can carry ticks.
Currently, no human vaccine is available for SFTS.
