| [occurrence of tsutsugamushi disease infection by orientia tsutsugamushi, kawasaki serotype, in yamagata prefecture, japan]. | of 95 tsutsugamushi disease case occurring in yamagata prefecture from 1999 to 2006, four-all women-involved the o. tsutsugamushi kawasaki serotype. the three major symptoms were fever, exanthema, and eschar present from mid-october to early november. serodiagnosis by indirect immunofluoresence assay showed elevated igg and igm antibody titers against the kawasaki serotype antigen, with igm higher than igg. nested pcr detected 56-kda dna in three of the cases. dna was amplified in kawasaki-speci ... | 2009 | 19860249 |
| [sequence analysis subtyping of the 56-kda protein-encoding gene of karp-type orientia tsutsugamushi isolated in scrub typhus cases]. | to determine the karp-type orientia tsutsugamushi subtype in northern japan, i.e., yamagata, niigata, and akita prefectures, we analyzed the partial nucleotide sequence of the 56-kda protein-encoding gene of 30 isolates from scrub typhus cases. based on sequencing results, we classified isolates into two groups of 27 and 3 isolates. nucleotide sequences of 27 isolates were homologous to the yeo-joo strain, classified as a jp-1 subtype. the three isolates were each homologous to a stain of cmm1, ... | 2011 | 22250452 |
| [epidemiological analysis on many cases of tsutsugamushi disease found in hiroshima prefecture, japan]. | the clinical findings of tsutsugamushi disease and the fauna of trombiculid mites in hiroshima prefecture were studied in this report. we reviewed 63 cases of tsutsugamushi disease occurring between 1990 and 1999, and most of cases were contracted in the area around the midportion of the oota river (55 cases; 87.3%). of these, 30 cases (47.1%) lived in asakita-ku in hiroshima city. eschar was detected in 33/19 (84.6%) cases, and 97.6% (40/41), 88.9% (16/18) patients showed eruption and lymphaden ... | 2001 | 11424485 |
