Abstract

Sever fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) is a novel virus discovered in recent years. Sever fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is caused by SFTSV infection, characterized by high fever, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia and multiple organ function damage, with a mortality rate from 5% to 30%. There is no proven effective antiviral drugs and vaccine available now. SFTSV infection can cause immune dysfunction in patients, and B lymphocytes are one of the important target cells for SFTSV infection, but the impact of SFTSV infection on B lymphocyte function is still unclear. This article reviews research on the abnormalities and underlying mechanism of B lymphocyte functions caused by SFTSV infection, so as to promote the research progress of the immunopathological mechanism of SFTSV infection, providing a basis for a deeper understanding of the impact of SFTSV infection on B lymphocytes and the development of related diagnostic and therapeutic technologies.
