2023-06-08
Abstract excerpt
Scrub typhus is the leading source of febrile illness in endemic countries due to infection with Orientia tsutsugamushi ( Ot ), a seriously understudied intracellular bacterium. Pulmonary complications in patients are common and can develop into life threatening conditions. The diverse antigenicity of Ot genotypes and inter-strain differences seem to be connected to varied virulence and clinical outcomes; howev...
