Five Cases of Tsutsugamushi Disease
Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 1994 We experienced 5 cases of tsutusgamushi disease from October to November 1993 at Hokusyo Central Hospital. All patients showed high fever, skin rash and eschar and four patients showed lymph node swelling. All cases were diagnosed serologically by indirect-immunofluorescence technique and treated with minocycline.
