Risk factors of thromboembolic events in patients with scrub typhus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Thromboembolic events are a well-recognized cause of in-hospital deaths of patients with infectious diseases. However, thromboembolic events in patients with scrub typhus, caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi have rarely been reported. This study aimed to assess risk factors associated with thromboembolic events in patients with scrub typhus.

Methods

All 93 scrub typhus patients' diagnoses were confirmed serologically or by positive nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The clinical and laboratory findings from 12 scrub typhus patients with thromboembolic events and 81 scrub typhus patients with nonthromboembolic events were retrospectively studied. To determine the factors implicated in thromboembolic events, we performed multivariate logistic regression analysis u
