Diagnostic Value of Neutrophil CD64 in Differentiating Scrub Typhus From Febrile Diseases

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Scrub typhus, lacks specific early symptoms, and traditional serological tests have low sensitivity. This study shows that CD64 has superior diagnostic performance compared to CRP and PCT in bacterial infections. Methods This retrospective study analyzed 242 febrile patients admitted to the Jiangsu Province (Suqian) Hospital ...

Leptotrombidium imphalum Chiggers as Vector for Scrub Typhus in Human Settlements, India, 2022–2023

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Scrub typhus is a common bacterial infection in many parts of Asia. The causative agent, Orientia tsutsugamushi, is transmitted by trombiculid mite (chigger) larvae that require small mammals as maintaining hosts.

Vomocytosis: Too Much Booze, Base, or Calcium? [PDF]

, 2019
Macrophages are well known for their phagocytic activity and their role in innate immune responses. Macrophages eat non-self particles, via a variety of mechanisms, and typically break down internalized cargo into small macromolecules.

Concurrent Scrub Typhus, Dengue, and Leptospirosis: A Rare Triple Co‐Infection: A Case Report and Comprehensive Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT In endemic areas, acute undifferentiated febrile illness has a wide differential with overlapping features that can lead to misdiagnosis. Although triple co‐infection with scrub typhus, dengue, and leptospirosis is extremely rare, high clinical suspicion and early detection are vital to avoid delayed treatment, multi‐organ dysfunction, and ...

A comparison of super‐resolution microscopy techniques for imaging tightly packed microcolonies of an obligate intracellular bacterium

Journal of Microscopy, Volume 301, Issue 2, Page 187-205, February 2026.
Abstract Conventional optical microscopy imaging of obligate intracellular bacteria is hampered by the small size of bacterial cells, tight clustering exhibited by some bacterial species and challenges relating to labelling such as background from host cells, a lack of validated reagents, and a lack of tools for genetic manipulation.
