IL-33, IL-17, TNF-\u03b1, IFN-\u03b3 and Ang-2 were significantly high in both scrub typhus associated febrile patients and STAKI patients. However, IL-17, TNF-\u03b1 and Ang-2 were found to be significantly high in STAKI patients in comparison to scrub typhus associated febrile patients. Further, significantly high expression of IL-10 was observed in both groups of scrub typhus patients with and without AKI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Interpretation &amp; conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Significantly high levels of IL-17, TNF-\u03b1 and Ang-2 in STAKI patients showed the dysregulated inflammatory response during pathogenesis and can be used as potential biomarkers for monitoring disease progression.
