Diagnosis method of scrub typhus using multi-copy gene

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of diagnosing tsutsugamushi disease by using multicopy genes. Preferably, the present invention relates to a method of diagnosing tsutsugamushi disease by providing a primer pair based on the nucleotide sequence of a multi-copy gene of Orientia tsutsugamushi in order to detect Orientia tsutsugamoshi bacteria causing tsutsugamushi disease, and detecting Orientia tsutsugamoshi by using the same. A diagnostic method using a primer pair of the present invention can perform detection with higher sensitivity and specificity compared to conventional test methods using a target gene for detection, thereby being able to perform clinical diagnosis quickly and easily with high accuracy.
