Early detection of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi in peripheral monocyte cultures derived from experimentally infected monkeys and dogs.
Rickettsia tsutsugamushi organisms were identified in Giemsa and fluorescent antibody stained monocyte cell cultures derived from experimentally infected monkeys and dogs. The identification of organisms in monocyte cell cultures compared favorably with the standard technique of mouse inoculation.
