Abstract

Thai patients with scrub typhus caused by the intracellular pathogen Orientia tsutsugamushi displayed elevated plasma concentrations of granzymes A and B, interferon-γ (IFN)-γ-inducible protein 10, and monokine induced by IFN-γ. These data suggest that activation of cytotoxic lymphocytes is part of the early host response to scrub typhus. Copyright © 2005 by The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
