Risk Factors for Scrub Typhus, Murine Typhus, and Spotted Fever Seropositivity in Urban Areas, Rural Plains, and Peri-Forest Hill Villages in South India: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Scrub typhus and spotted fever group rickettsioses are thought to be common causes of febrile illness in India, whereas they rarely test for murine typhus. This cross-sectional study explored the risk factors associated with scrub typhus, tick-borne spotted fever, and murine typhus seropositivity in three different geographical settings, urban, rural, and hill villages in Tamil Nadu, South India. We enrolled 1,353 participants living in 48 clusters.

Comparison of nested polymerase chain reaction and real-time polymerase chain reaction targeting 47kda gene for the diagnosis of scrub typhus.

Introduction: Scrub typhus is a zoonotic infection caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi which is transmitted by Leptotrombidium mites. The disease manifests as a mild-to-severe illness with non-specific clinical symptoms. Rapid diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential for patient management.

Crystal structure of phenyl -(3,5-di-methyl-phenyl)carbamate.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, CHNO, contains two independent mol-ecules ( and ). The di-methyl-phenyl ring, the phenyl ring and the central carbamate N-C(=O)-O group are not coplanar. In mol-ecule , the di-methyl-phenyl and phenyl rings are inclined to the carbamate group mean plane by 27.

Crystal structure of phenyl N-(4-nitro-phen-yl)carbamate.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C13H10N2O4, contains two independent mol-ecules (A and B). The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 48.18 (14)° in mol-ecule A and 45.

Dengue Virus Infection Triggering Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura in Pregnancy.

We report a case of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) that immediately followed symptomatic dengue virus infection in a pregnant lady. The patient developed dengue fever at 16 weeks of gestation, resulting in spontaneous abortion. Subsequently, fever reappeared with persistent thrombocytopenia and jaundice.
