Scrub typhus (ST), caused with the infection of Orientia tsutsugamushi, without eschar, is a febrile illness that mimics malaria (ML), dengue (DG), and other rickettsioses such as murine typhus (MT). Comparative analysis of microarray gene expression profiles of GSE16463 dataset, from O. tsutsugamushi infected monocytes, was performed to identify transcriptional signatures in ST discriminated from other acute febrile infections, accompanied by functional pathways and enrichment analysis in disease pathogenesis. A unique 31 ST-associated signature genes obtained in this study could help distinguish ST from other febrile illnesses DG, ML and MT. The functional pathways significantly enriched in ST disease group included translocation of ZAP-70 to immunological synapse, and phosphorylation of CD3 and TCR zeta chains, involving PTPN22 and CD3G genes, which could further help in the understanding of molecular pathophysiology of ST and discovering novel drug targets as well as vaccine developments.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
