ABSTRACT
Scrub typhus became a well recognized infectious disease threat to military operations in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Early diagnosis and treatment with tetracycline or chloramphenicol dramatically reduces the mortality and morbidity of this disease. Korea is a newly recognized scrub typhus endemic country. We report our experience with 189 scrub typhus patients seen at a civilian outpatient clinic in Chinhae, Republic of Korea, from 1985 through 1990, and verify the accuracy of clinical diagnosis by serologic tests.
