Occupational Risk of Severe Fever With Thrombocytopenia Syndrome in Healthcare Workers

We identified a healthcare-associated infection of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) virus (SFTSV), transmitted through direct blood contact with an index case. Following further epidemiological and clinical investigations, we identified SFTSV seropositivity in 2 healthcare workers...

description We identified a healthcare-associated infection of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) virus (SFTSV), transmitted through direct blood contact with an index case. Following further epidemiological and clinical investigations, we identified SFTSV seropositivity in 2 healthcare workers and 2 family members, who were positive for anti-SFTSV immunoglobin G. It is important to prevent SFTSV transmission by early diagnosis of SFTS and universal precautions.
