He was tachycardic (108 bpm), had an axillar temperature of 38.8 C, and a generalized, non-pruritic maculopapular rash, more pronounced on the trunk and sparing palms, soles, and mucosa (Fig. 1, A and B).
Phylogenetic analysis of Orientia tsutsugamushi isolate amplified from eschar sample of patient from South Korea. The trees were constructed based on 970 bp rrs (a) and 593 bp tsa56 (b) gene fragments of the patient and O. tsutsugamushi type strains/isolates (GenBank accession numbers are shown next to each agent) using the Maximum Likelihood method with the Tamura-Nei model. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA7 and the values for the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) are shown next to the branches
