    Abstract:
    Most of patients with tsutsugamushi disease are diagnosed by their clinical histories suggesting the opportunities of Rickettsia infection in a rural region. We reported a 76-year-old female patient, who was considered to be infected in her house in the urban area of Komatsu City. She has shown typical clinical manifestations of tsutsugamushi disease, and was remitted successfully by oral administration of minocycline. Although specific antibodies to Rickettsia tsutsugamushi could not be detected in her serum by the complement fixation (CF) method during her clinical course, their significant elevation was confirmed by the indirect immunofluorescence (IF) method.
