Soldiers from the Republic of Korea and the United States conducting peacetime military operations at various training sites and multiple range complexes located near the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea are exposed to rodents and their potentially disease-carrying ectoparasites. These diseases include scrub typhus, murine typhus, and leptospirosis. Many of the training sites...
BACKGROUND Scrub typhus, a bacterial infection caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, is increasingly recognized as an important cause of fever in Asia, with an estimated one million infections occurring each year. Limited access to health care and the disease's non-specific symptoms mean that many patients are undiagnosed and untreated, but the mortality from untreated scrub typhus is unknown. This...
Scrub typhus is a serious public health problem in the Asia-Pacific area. It threatens one billion people globally, and causes illness in one million people each year. Caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, scrub typhus can result in severe multiorgan failure with a case fatality rate up to 70% without appropriate treatment. The antigenic heterogeneity of O. tsutsugamushi precludes generic immunity ...
Scrub typhus, caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, is a severe febrile illness transmitted to humans by trombiculid mites, which normally feed on rodents. The first known outbreak of scrub typhus in Palau occurred in 2001 to 2003 among residents of the remote southwest islands. To determine the extent of scrub typhus distribution in Palau, we tested serum samples from humans and rodents for antibo...
Scrub typhus, caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, has emerged recently in areas of northern China where the disease had not been known to exist. We analyzed epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory data for 104 patients who were admitted to a hospital in Fuyang City between 26 September and 1 November 2008. We showed that the major clinical manifestations of the patients were fever (100%), heada...
Background: The Taiwan Area includes the main island of Taiwan and several small associated islands, which are located off the coast of Southern China. The eastern two-thirds of Taiwan’s main island are characterized by rugged mountains covered with tropical and subtropical vegetation. Western Taiwan’s main island is characterized by flat to gently rolling plains. The geographical distribution ...
Scrub typhus, which is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, has various systemic manifestations, including GI symptoms. We describe one patient with scrub typhus who presented with symptoms that suggested acute appendicitis and another who presented with symptoms of acute cholecystitis. The first patient underwent appendectomy, which revealed no pathological findings in the appendix; subsequently,...
cal countries but has protean manifestations. The classical presentation of fever with eschar and accompanying gastrointestinal, respiratory or neurological involvement is seen only in a small percentage of cases. Unusual and distracting symptoms and signs have been increasingly associated with scrub typhus, hence, a high index of suspicion should be entertained in febrile children, especially ...
Scrub typhus, also called tsutsugamushi disease in Japan, is one of the most common rickettsial diseases in this country. Fever, skin rash, eschar and elevated hepatic enzymes are main clinical features of scrub typhus. We present the case of a 55 year-old woman contracted with this infection without skin eruption and abnormal liver function. The finding of an unusual eschar helped us to make a...
This is a case report of a 12-year-old returned traveler with typhoid and scrub typhus coinfection. The diagnosis of typhoid was made early with blood cultures and Widal Weil Felix serology. Persistent fever despite appropriate antibiotics for typhoid fever prompted a search for concomitant infection, which led to the diagnosis of scrub typhus confirmed by Orientia tsutsugamushi serology. The p...
