Persistence of Orientia tsutsugamushi in Humans
Journal of Korean Medical Science, 2012 We investigated the persistence of viable Orientia tsutsugamushi in patients who had recovered from scrub typhus. Blood specimens were available from six patients with scrub typhus who were at 1 to 18 months after the onset of the illness. The EDTA-treated blood specimens were inoculated into ECV304 cells, and cultures were maintained for 7 months ...

Scrub Typhus: Historic Perspective and Current Status of the Worldwide Presence of Orientia Species
Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2020 Scrub typhus and its etiological agents, Orientia species, have been around for a very long time. Historical reference to the rickettsial disease scrub typhus was first described in China (313 AD) by Hong Ge in a clinical manual (Zhouhofang) and in Japan
