Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Scrub typhus is a rickettsiosis which is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi and occurs throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Molecular diagnosis of rickettsioses using eschar swabs has recently emerged, and may be very useful for the diagnosis of these diseases in tropical settings. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to detect O. tsutsugamushi DNA in...
