Description

A tabular dataset produced as part of a clinical cross sectional study to investigate an association between initial IgG antibodies against Orientia tsutsugamushi, and risk of severe scrub typhus. The findings suggest either an accelerated IgG response in severe cases or possibly antibody dependent enhancement. Data request button removed at request of data creator on 06 May 2021. Release of data is subject to approval by Institutional Review Board at Christian Medical College, Vellore. Please contact data creator via email to discuss dataset.
