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.
