Abstract
We report a case of a 70-year-old Thai woman with severe fever and thrombocytopenia syndrome, who had lost all seven of her cats from sickness over a week. Diagnosis was established by the detection of viral RNA in serum via real-time polymerase chain reaction. Her symptoms improved after taking doxycycline orally and supportive treatment.
