Genetic Characterization of <i>Orientia tsutsugamushi,</i> Bhutan, 2015

We performed molecular characterization of Orientia tsutsugamushi on DNA sequences from 5 patients from Bhutan with scrub typhus. In the 56 kDa gene, all isolates aligned with those from other Asia countries, including Nepal, India, Thailand, and Taiwan. High serum IgM titers correlated with PCR positivity in acutely ill patients.

Abstract

We performed molecular characterization of Orientia tsutsugamushi on DNA sequences from 5 patients from Bhutan with scrub typhus. In the 56 kDa gene, all isolates aligned with those from other Asia countries, including Nepal, India, Thailand, and Taiwan. High serum IgM titers correlated with PCR positivity in acutely ill patients.
