The Scrub Typhus test detects infection caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, a mite-borne bacterium. This test is crucial because scrub typhus often presents as undifferentiated fever and can rapidly progress to life-threatening complications if not diagnosed and treated early.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:

In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
