As these two diseases share common clinical features, as well as overlapping disease regions, it is difficult to differentiate between SFTS and scrub typhus. A multiplex reverse-transcription loop\u2011mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay was developed to detect large segments and GroES genes for SFTS virus (SFTSV) and\n                    <jats:italic>Orientia tsutsugamushi<\/jats:italic>\n                    (OT). The performance of the RT-LAMP assay was compared and evaluated with those of commercial PowerChek\n                    <jats:sup>\u2122<\/jats:sup>\n                    SFTSV real-time PCR and LiliF\n                    <jats:sup>\u2122<\/jats:sup>\n                    TSUTSU nested PCR for 23 SFTS and 12 scrub typhus clinical samples, respectively. The multiplex SFTSV\/OT\/Internal control (IC) RT-LAMP assay showed comparable sensitivity (91.3%) with that of commercial PowerChek\n                    <jats:sup>\u2122<\/jats:sup>\n                    SFTSV Real-time PCR (95.6%) and higher sensitivity (91.6%) than that of LiliF\n                    <jats:sup>\u2122<\/jats:sup>\n                    TSUTSU nested PCR (75%). In addition, the multiplex SFTSV\/OT RT-LAMP assay showed 100% specificity and no cross-reactivity for blood from uninfected healthy patients and samples from patients infected with other fever viruses. Thus, the multiplex SFTSV\/OT\/IC RT-LAMP assay could serve as a useful point-of-care molecular diagnostic test for SFTS and scrub typhus.\n
