Clinical deterioration in community acquired infections associated with lymphocyte upsurge in immunocompetent hosts [PDF]
Clinical deterioration during the course of community-acquired infections can occur as a result of an exaggerated immune response of the host towards the inciting pathogens, leading to immune-mediated tissue damage.

Molecular Epidemiology and Genetic Diversity of Orientia tsutsugamushi From Patients and Small Mammals in Xiangyun County, Yunnan Province, China. [PDF]
Scrub typhus is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi (OT). In this study, the detection rates of OT in patients and small mammals were 28.13% (18/64) and 13.98% (13/93), respectively. Nine full‐length 56‐kDa TSA genes were identified, comprising four distinct genotypes: Karp‐like (n = 3), Kato‐like (n = 3), Gilliam (n = 2), and TA763 (n = 1). Recombination

Five Cases of Tsutsugamushi Disease
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.

Liver Involvement in Tsutsugamushi Disease.
Tsutsugamushi disease, one of the rickettsiosis, is known to be occasionally accompanied by elevation of hepatic enzyme levels. However, there are only a few reports on histopathological findings of the liver. We presented a case of Tsutsugamushi disease with liver involvement.
