A race-horse, which had been imported into the Malay States from Australia, got out of condition and occasionally coughed up thick pus. Five specimens of pus were brought to the laboratory between February and July, 1925, and on each occasion B. whitmori was isolated from it. The blood of the horse agglutinated the standard strain of B.

ABSTRACT Objective Scrub typhus is a major cause of acute undifferentiated febrile illness (AUFI) in the Asia–Pacific region. Nonspecific presentation, limited diagnostic accuracy and delayed treatment increase morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to develop a simple clinical score for early diagnosis in adults with AUFI. Methods A cross‐sectional

ABSTRACT Background In the absence of a gold standard, latent class models can be used to estimate test accuracy from a study comparing results on multiple tests. Fixed‐effect and latent trait models are often used to account for conditional dependencies between tests, mitigating against biased accuracy estimates, but are difficult to implement. Latent
