Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a newly emerging infectious disease caused by a novel bunyavirus in which host immune system suppression is thought to be crucial in the development of disease. This study was designed to study the frequencies and activation status of dendritic cells (DCs) at different stages of SFTS and their association with disease severity.
