An epidemiological investigation was conducted for a scrub typhus case reported in a U.S. Forces Korea military patient in the Republic of Korea in November 2018. The patient had a fever, maculopapular rash, and an eschar. The full-length sequence of 56-kDa type-specific antigen (TSA) gene was obtained from eschar tissue by multiplex PCR-based Next Generation Sequencing for genetic identification. Based on the 56-kDa TSA gene, the aligned most closely with the Boryong strain.
对2018年11月在大韩民国一名驻韩美军患者中报告的一例恙虫病病例进行了流行病学调查。该患者有发热、斑丘疹和焦痂。通过基于多重PCR的下一代测序从焦痂组织中获得56-kDa型特异性抗原(TSA)基因的全长序列用于基因鉴定。基于56-kDa TSA基因,其与保宁菌株的亲缘关系最为密切。
