Reliable Diagnosis of Pediatric Scrub Typhus

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Diagnosis of scrub typhus is difficult, because of its non-specific clinical features and a lack of reliable serological assays. This study assessed real time PCR detection of the 47 kDa gene along with routine IgM ELISA for confirmatory diagnosis of scrub typhus. This observational study was conducted […]
