We report a 57-year-old man with acute thrombocytopenia, leucopenia, and multiorgan
dysfunction. Patient was from North Korea and was temporarily working in Dubai, United
Arab Emirates, when he fell ill in March 29. At the same time and unknown to us, many
patients with similar clinical manifestations were admitted to hospitals in China. The
Chinese cases―identified between March and July 29―were recently reported to have
been infected with a tick-born strain of bunyavirus, a new disease. The virus infection
was documented in patients from central China and the region that shares the border
with North Korea. The clinical manifestations, the time of disease onset, and geographical
link of the patient with the region in which the disease is endemic suggest that the
patient had SFTS bunyavirus infection.
