Tsutsugamushi Disease

Description:

Tsutsugamushi disease, also known as scrub typhus, is a bacterial infection caused by the Orientia tsutsugamushi bacterium. It is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of infected chiggers (trombiculid mites) found in the regions of Asia, Australia, and the Pacific islands. The disease is characterized by symptoms similar to other tropical febrile illnesses, including fever, headache, rash, and swollen lymph nodes.
