The mortality rate for Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Virus (SFTSV) can vary significantly, but it is generally estimated to be around 10-30%.
This means that 10 to 30 out of every 100 people infected with SFTSV may die from the disease.
However, factors like age, overall health, and the severity of the infection can influence the mortality rate.
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving chances of survival.
SFTSV is a tick-borne virus that can cause a range of symptoms, including fever, fatigue, muscle aches, and low platelet count.
The virus is primarily found in East Asia, particularly in China, Japan, and South Korea.
