Prevalence and risk factors for murine typhus, scrub typhus and spotted fever group rickettsioses among adolescent and adult patients presenting to Yangon General Hospital, Yangon, Myanmar

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 9, Page 966-977, September 2025.
Abstract Objectives To inform patient management and disease prevention, we sought to estimate the prevalence of, and identify risk factors for, scrub typhus, murine typhus, and spotted fever group rickettsioses (SFGR) among febrile patients presenting to hospital in Myanmar.

435. Serological Cross-Reactivity Between Rickettsia japonica and Orientia tsutsugamushi, and Among Orientia tsutsugamushi Serotypes [PDF]

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2018
BACKGROUND: The rickettsial diseases Japanese spotted fever (JSF) and scrub typhus (ST) are caused by Rickettsia japonica and Orientia tsutsugamushi, respectively. The diseases share clinical symptoms, such as fever, rash, and eschar. However, there are no systematical investigations of the serological cross-reactivity between R.

Temporal analysis of mRNA expression profiles in Orientia infected C3HeB/FeJ mouse

BMC Microbiology, 2020
Background Scrub typhus causes up to 35% mortality if left untreated. One billion people living in the endemic regions are at risk. In spite of its heavy disease burden in some of the most populated areas in the world, there is no vaccine available ...

Survival and Growth ofOrientia tsutsugamushiin Conventional Hemocultures [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
Orientia tsutsugamushi, which requires specialized facilities for culture, is a substantial cause of disease in Asia. We demonstrate that O. tsutsugamushi numbers increased for up to 5 days in conventional hemocultures. Performing such a culture step before molecular testing could increase the sensitivity of O. tsutsugamushi molecular diagnosis.

Scrub typhus‐associated movement and gait disorders: A systematic review with principal component analysis and in silico mechanistic modelling

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 6, Page 459-480, June 2025.
Abstract Background Orientia tsutsugamushi, the causative agent of scrub typhus, is increasingly recognised for its neurological complications. Among these, movement and gait disorders are poorly understood. We systematically examined their clinical spectrum and explored underlying mechanisms through in‐silico protein–protein interaction modelling ...

Diagnosis of severe scrub typhus infection by next-generation sequencing:a case report

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2020
Background Scrub typhus is an acute febrile illness, which was caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi and transmitted through the bite of chiggers. The diagnosis of scrub typhus could be missed diagnosis due to the absence of the pathognomonic eschar.

The Influence of Large-Scale Structure on Halo Shapes and Alignments [PDF]

, 2006
Alignments of galaxy clusters (the Binggeli effect), as well as of galaxies themselves have long been studied both observationally and theoretically. Here we test the influence of large-scales structures and tidal fields on the shapes and alignments of ...

Prolonged Fever in Children: An Inpatient Diagnostic Framework for Infections in Australia

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 532-539, April 2025.
ABSTRACT There are many causes of fever in children, ranging from common and self‐limiting to serious and life threatening. Careful assessment of children with prolonged fever without an obvious or identified source requires detailed history and examination with consideration of infections unique to the specific geographical region and individual ...
