摘要

The present invention relates to a diagnostic kit for tsutsugamushi disease using a mixed antigen of tsutsugamushi. More specifically, the diagnostic kit for tsutsugamushi disease comprises a test strip comprising a sample pad absorbing the sample, a gold conjugation pad binding with human antibodies in the sample, a test membrane comprising a test line containing a mixed antigen of tsutsugamushi and a control line containing a control protein, an absorption pad absorbing the residual sample. In the diagnostic kit of the present invention, the antibody against tsutsugamushi can be simply detected without using any equipment, whereby the infection with Orientia tsutsugamushi can be confirmed with the naked eye.
