Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome complicated with subdural hematoma : A rare case and literature review

© 2019 The Authors. Journal of General and Family Medicine published by John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd on behalf of Japan Primary Care Association..

A 79-year-old woman presented with fever and general malaise. Examination revealed hepatic injury, thrombocytopenia, skin lesions, and regional lymphadenopathy; severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) was diagnosed using polymerase chain reaction. The patient developed impaired consciousness that worsened after 4 days. Magnetic resonance imaging of the head revealed a subdural hematoma in the occipital region with an uncertain onset time. As SFTS rarely causes intracranial hemorrhage, the associated risk factors are unknown. Clinicians may overlook potential intracranial hemorrhage in stuporous SFTS patients.
