A Case of Severe Fever With Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Co-infected With Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus fumigatus.

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a tick-borne infectious disease with a high mortality rate. Co-infections with SFTS virus (SFTSV) and other pathogens can exacerbate the condition, leading to rapidly progressive multiple organ failure. We reported a case of SFTS complicated by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus fumigatus. Despite active symptomatic supportive treatment (including anti-virus, anti-infection, anti-antifungal treatment, liver protection, and other advanced life supports), the patient's condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to multiple organ failure. The patient was discharged home and died on the same day. The next day, her blood test results reported that SFTSV, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus fumigatus were detected through metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). It suggests that early pathogen screening and targeted anti-infective treatment are crucial for improving the prognosis.
