We describe a scrub typhus patient with acute renal failure for whom a diagnosis was made based on serology as well as immunohistochemical (IHC) staining and an electron microscopic examination (EM) of a renal biopsy specimen. For our case, we demonstrated by IHC staining and EM that renal failure was caused by acute tubular necrosis due to a direct invasion of Orientia tsutsugamushi.
我们描述了一名患有急性肾衰竭的恙虫病患者,其诊断基于血清学、免疫组织化学(IHC)染色以及对肾活检标本的电子显微镜检查(EM)。对于我们的病例,我们通过IHC染色和EM证明,肾衰竭是由恙虫病东方体的直接侵袭导致急性肾小管坏死引起的。
