Scrub typhus and antibiotic-resistant Orientia tsutsugamushi

Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2021
Introduction: Scrub typhus is one of the most underdiagnosed and under-reported febrile illnesses requiring hospitalization, mainly occurring in Southeast and East Asia and the Pacific Islands, in an area referred to as the 'Tsutsugamushi Triangle.' Scrub typhus is a zoonotic rickettsial disease that is transmitted to humans by trombiculid mites.Areas ...

Antibodies to Orientia tsutsugamushi in Thai Soldiers

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1996
Thai soldiers who were conscripted, Royal Thai Army forces, professional Border Patrol Police, or local militia (Thai Rangers) located in any of seven provinces of Thailand were bled in April and again, four months later, in July 1989. In 1991, soldiers from five different locations in southern Thailand were bled once, in July.

Global gene expression profile of Orientia tsutsugamushi

PROTEOMICS, 2010
AbstractOrientia tsutsugamushi, an obligate intracellular bacterium, is the causative agent of Scrub typhus. The control mechanisms for bacterial gene expression are largely unknown. Here, the global gene expression of O. tsutsugamushi within eukaryotic cells was examined using a microarray and proteomic approaches for the first time.

Subversion of host cell signaling by Orientia tsutsugamushi

Microbes and Infection, 2011
Progress has been made in deciphering the mechanisms on Orientia tsutsugamushi-host interaction. The genome sequencing, microarray and proteomic analyses of this ancient bacterium have provided a wealth of new information. This paper reviews the general characteristics of O.

PREVALENCE OF RELATIVE BRADYCARDIA IN ORIENTIA TSUTSUGAMUSHI INFECTION

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2003
We investigated 100 febrile patients infected with Orientia tsutsugamushi (the etiologic agent of scrub typhus) for the presence of relative bradycardia, defined as in increase in heart rate of < 10 beats/minutes/1°C increase in temperature. The median heart rate response for the entire febrile scrub typhus population was 9.3 beats/minute/°C and the

Miller Fisher syndrome related to Orientia tsutsugamushi infection

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2014
Miller Fisher syndrome is typically associated with a preceding infection, especially with Campylobacter jejuni. We describe a patient with Miller Fisher syndrome following Orientia tsutsugamushi infection, which to our knowledge has not been previously reported.

Biology of Orientia tsutsugamushi

2016
Orientia tsutsugamushi is an intracellular, Gram-negative bacterium belonging to order Rickettsiales and is the causative agent of scrub typhus. The organism is transmitted to human host by chiggers; the larval stage of trombiculid mites and transovarial transmission is thought to be the only mechanism for its maintenance in the mites.

OCCURRENCE OF ORIENTIA TSUTSUGAMUSHI IN SMALL MAMMALS FROM THAILAND

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2003
Extensive sampling of small mammals was conducted in eight provinces of Thailand between September 9, 1992 and April 29, 2001. A total of 3,498 specimens representing 22 species were collected. Eighty-eight percent (3,089 of 3,498) of the animals were collected from a region in Chiangrai Province, which is commonly recognized as endemic for human scrub
