PG - 4704-4713 LID - 10.1002/jmv.26877 [doi] AB - Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is recognized as an emerging infectious disease. This study aimed to investigate the pathogenic mechanism of SFTS. A total of 100 subjects were randomly included in the study. Cytokine levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the viral load was detected by micro drop digital PCR. The results showed that levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, IL-10, IFN-inducible protein-10 (IP-10), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha), transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), and regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and secreted factor (RANTES) differed significantly among the SFTS patient group, healthy people group, and asymptomatic infection group (p < .05). Compared to the healthy people group, the patient group had increased cytokine levels (IL-6, IL-10, IP-10, MCP-1, and IFN-gamma) but reduced levels of IL-8, TGF-beta1, and RANTES (p < .0167). IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IP-10, MCP-1, MIP-1alpha, TGF-beta1, and the RANTES levels had different trends after the onset of the disease. IL-6, IL-10, IP-10, and MCP-1 levels in severe patients were higher than those in mild patients (p < .05). There was a positive correlation between viral load and IL-6 and IP-10 but a negative correlation between viral load and RANTES. SFTSV could cause a cytokine change: the cytokine levels of patients had different degrees of fluctuation after the onset of the disease. The levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in the asymptomatic infection group were found between the SFTS patients group and the healthy people group. The levels of IL-6, IL-10, IP-10, and MCP-1 in the serum could reflect the severity of the disease, and the levels of IL-6, IP-10, and RANTES were correlated with the viral load.
