MORU in-house ELISA test followed by IFA if positive
An in-house rickettsial IgG ELISA test will be used for this study to determine previous rickettsial infections by measuring IgG levels. All specimens will be tested for IgG antibodies using ELISA tests for scrub typhus (Orientia tsutsugamushi strains Karp, Kato, Gilliam and TA716), murine typhus (Rickettsia typhi strain type Wilmington), and spotted fever rickettsiosis (Rickettsia honei and Rickettsia conorii). If the sample tests positive, it will be retested for the same antigens using the IFA test. The sample will be considered positive if both the ELISA and the IFA are positive.
