A Study on Immunity in Tsutsugamushi Disease

Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 1989
The immune response in human tsutsugamushi disease (scrub typhus) was studied. Anti-rickettsial activity of sera, peripheral mononuclear cells and their culture supernatants from patients on in vitro growth of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi proliferating in normal human peripheral macrophages was examined. The results obtained were as follows.
