恙虫东方体
(重定向自恙蟲病東方體)
恙虫病东方体(Orientia tsutsugamushi)是恙虫病的病原体。其种小名“tsutsugamushi”源自于日语“つつがむし”,为日本汉字“恙虫”两字的发音[1]。恙虫东方体的自然病媒及传染窝为钩恙螨属类的恙螨[2][3]。

恙虫病东方体为胞内病原体,需寄生于真核细胞内才能繁殖。其外膜结构类似革兰氏阴性菌,但并不容易以革兰氏染色染色,必须采用Gimenez stain。恙虫病东方体具有多种血清型,主要血清型包含 Karp(占总感染病例的半数)[3],另外还有Gilliam(25%)[3]、Kato(<10%)[3],以及Kawasaki等[4]。恙虫东方体的血清型变化相当多样[5][6][7],如马来西亚同时就有八种血清型通报[8]。恙虫病棘手的部分在于感染某一血清型之后,不代表对于其他血清型会具有免疫力。另外恙虫东方体也可能在同一个体重复感染。
微生物学
编辑恙虫东方体一开始被归类于立克次体[1],但后来被重新分类于东方体属,恙虫东方体为该属的唯一物种[9]。
本种长约 1.2 至 3.0 µm,宽约 0.5 µm ,属于绝对胞内寄生细菌。由于该物种毒力高,需于第三级以上防护实验室才能操作[10]。
抗生素疗法
编辑恙虫病东方体在体外对于多西环素、利福平,及阿奇霉素等抗生素敏感。但对β-内酰胺类药物(如青霉素)则有抗药性,因为本物种缺乏肽聚糖[11]。另外氨基糖苷类抗生素(如庆大霉素)在人体中也无效,因为该物种在活体内会寄生于细胞内,但此类抗生素无法穿越细胞膜。
疫苗
编辑目前恙虫东方体尚无有效的疫苗,因为该物种具有许多血清型,且即使感染了一种血清型,也无法确保人体能对于另一种血清型产生免疫力。
