Scrub Typhus Infection Precipitating Hemolysis in a Patient With G6PD Deficiency: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a well‐known red blood cell enzymopathy and a cause of intravascular hemolysis. This case report presents a child with underlying G6PD deficiency who experienced an acute episode of extensive intravascular hemolysis induced by a scrub typhus infection.

Analysis of Prevalent Orientia tsutsugamushi in Aichi Prefecture

Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 1999
Orientia tsutsugamushi was isolated from one of 8 patients' sera in Aichi Prefecture, and was identified to have the same antigenicity with the KN-2 strain (KN-2 like) based on the reactivity with 13 types of strain-specific or cross-reactive monoclonal antibodies to Karp, Gilliam, and Kato strains.

Sequelae Following Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Caused by Orientia Tsutsugamushi

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2020
We evaluated 146 patients with acute encephalitis syndrome caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, after median interval of 5 months of hospitalization, to estimate the proportion and spectrum of disability. Fifty-six (38.4%) had mild, whereas 19 (13%) had moderate to severe degree of disability.

Development of a rapid and visual nucleotide detection method for a Chinese epidemic strain of Orientia tsutsugamushi based on recombinase polymerase amplification assay and lateral flow test

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2018
Objectives: Orientia tsutsugamushi is an obligate intracellular pathogen that causes scrub typhus. Diagnosing scrub typhus remains a challenge, and a sensitive, specific, simple, and rapid diagnostic test is still needed.

Microbiological Investigations for Chikungunya Virus in Children With Acute Encephalitis Syndrome in a Non‐Outbreak Setting in Southern India

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an emerging cause of acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) in India, with limited data on its role in childhood AES in southern India. We systematically evaluated children with AES in southern India during a non‐epidemic period for CHIKV. Serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were tested for CHIKV using IgM ELISA

Rickettsiosis Infections in Sarawak: Epidemiological Insights and Public Health Strategies

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Rickettsiosis infections pose a significant public health concern in Sarawak, Malaysia. Despite their importance, these infections remain poorly recognised, under‐researched and inadequately documented within the context of the Sarawak region. This comprehensive evaluation seeks to address this knowledge gap by providing an in‐depth analysis of ...

Scrub Typhus Combined With Septic Shock Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation and Significant Hyperfibrinolysis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Introduction: Scrub typhus is an acute infectious disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, whose pathophysiology is characterized by systemic small‐vessel vasculitis. Its high misdiagnosis rate stems from its nonspecific clinical features. If not diagnosed and treated in time, patients may rapidly progress to multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS) or ...

In VitroActivity of Tigecycline AgainstOrientia tsutsugamushi

Yonsei Medical Journal, 2016
Scrub typhus is a zoonosis caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi (O. tsutsugamushi) occurring mainly in autumn in Korea. The need of new antibiotics has arisen with a report on strains resistant to antibiotics and chronic infection. This study aims to identify susceptibility of tigecycline in-vitro as a new therapeutic option for O.

Acute encephalitis syndrome caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi

Health Technology, 2019
Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) secondary to scrub typhus infection is rarely seen clinically. A 50-year-old man was brought to our emergency department (ED) with weakness, disorientation, and bizarre behavior. An episode of generalized tonic-clonic (GTC) seizure occurred with urine and stool incontinence, and he became unresponsive.

Genetic diversity of Orientia tsutsugamushi strains from patients in north India

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background: Scrub typhus has emerged as a major cause of acute febrile illness in India in recent years. The causative agent, Orientia tsutsugamushi has more than 20 prototype strains due to a variable 56-kDa outer membrane protein. It is crucial to know
