The prevalence and incidence of antibodies to Orientia tsutsugamushi, the etiologic agent of scrub typhus, in Thai soldiers living and working near the Thai-Cambodian border in Si Sa Ket Province was investigated. The point prevalence of antibodies varied from 0 to 4.1%. The incidence of antibodies, calculated from individuals who seroconverted following a negative result in a previous bleeding 3 to 5 months earlier, was 4.21% (9/214) in January 1992, 0 in April 1992 and 3.76% (8/213) in September 1992. An annual infection rate of 2.66% was estimated.
对居住和工作在四色菊府泰国-柬埔寨边境附近的泰国士兵中恙虫病东方体（恙虫病的病原体）抗体的流行率和发病率进行了调查。抗体的点流行率在0至4.1%之间。抗体发病率是根据3至5个月前首次采血结果为阴性而后来血清转化的个体计算得出的，1992年1月为4.21%（9/214），1992年4月为0，1992年9月为3.76%（8/213）。估计年感染率为2.66%。
