This study intended to find out the incidence, clinical outcome, cytokine response and genotypes of\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Orientia tsutsugamushi<\/jats:italic>\n                      associated with AKI patients in Odisha, a state in eastern India.\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Methods:<\/jats:italic>\n                      Acute febrile illness or history of acute fever with various degrees of kidney involvement admitted to SCB Medical College Hospital, Cuttack were included in the study. A detailed demographic characteristics and clinical features were recorded with pre-tested questionnaire at the time of admission. Scrub Typhus was detected by \u2018IgM ELISA\u2019 test (OD &gt; 0.5) and PCR. Routine urine, haematological and biochemical tests were performed. Genotyping of the\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Orientia tsutsugamushi<\/jats:italic>\n                      was done using 56-kDa gene for\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Orientia<\/jats:italic>\n                      species and phylogenetic tree by neighbor-joining method. The plasma level of the IFN-\u03b3 (pro-inflammatory cytokine) and IL10 (anti-inflammatory) were measured by commercially available ELISA kit. The statistical analysis was performed using Graph Pad Prism software (version 4).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Results:<\/jats:italic>\n                      Out of 140 acute febrile illness or history of acute febrile illness patients with AKI admitted to hospital, 32.14% were confirmed to be scrub typhus positive; eschar was seen in 17.8% of them. Of the total scrub typhus positive cases, 24.4% were having multi organ dysfunction. Majority of the AKI patients (60%) were in the \u201cfailure\u201d category under RIFLE criteria. The mortality rate was 20.0%. Risk of dialysis requirement and mortality increases with RIFLE classification. \u201cKarp\u201d was the predominant circulating genotype. IFN-\u03b3 and IL10 level was high among the scrub typhus associated AKI patients.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Interpretation &amp; conclusion:<\/jats:italic>\n                      The study shows a high incidence of scrub typhus associated AKI and high case fatality rate. Hence, emphasis should be given on differential diagnosis. RIFLE classification is applicable with increment risk of dialysis requirement and death.
