Research progress in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome

Abstract

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) are infectious diseases. The epidemic of these two diseases can seriously affect human life and health, and is also a public health problem currently facing in the world. Due to the uneven level of medical development around the world, many doctors have insufficient understanding of these two diseases, which is likely to lead to missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis, and the patients are not treated correctly, which leads to aggravation of the disease and affects their prognosis. Clinically, the diagnosis of SFTS and HFRS mainly depends on the results of pathogenic examination and serological examination, but many medical institutions have not carried out these two examinations. Therefore, if epidemiological and clinical characteristics can be used to diagnose and differentiate these two diseases, it will help guide clinical practice. This paper reviews the research progress in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of SFTS and HFRS at home and abroad in recent years.
