Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition and a kit for detecting specific antibodies for Orientia tsutsugamushi. The composition and the kit for detecting the specific antibodies for Orientia tsutsugamushi of the present invention are for particularly detecting the specific antibodies for Orientia tsutsugamushi derived ScaA, ScaB or ScaE. The composition and the kit of the present invention can be used for identifying an infected person or a non-infected person by Orientia tsutsugamushi, especially for identifying whether a patient showing the same or similar symptoms to tsutsugamushi disease is an infected person or a non-infected person by Orientia tsutsugamushi.
