We experienced 5 cases of tsutusgamushi disease from October to November 1993 at Hokusyo Central Hospital. All patients showed high fever, skin rash and eschar and four patients showed lymph node swelling. All cases were diagnosed serologically by indirect-immunofluorescence technique and treated with minocycline. In a survey of anti-Karp, Kato, Gilliam, Kawasaki, Kuroki antibodies, all patients showed the highest antibody titers against the Kawasaki strain and they were considered Kawasaki type. In Nagasaki Prefecture, the number of patients with tsutsugamushi disease has been increasing since 1982. We carried out immunologic and epidemiologic studies about this disease in Nagasaki Prefecture.
