Document: The concept of neglected tropical diseases has had the marvelous effect of shining the spotlight and research support particularly on helminthic parasites. All that this attention has accomplished is laudable, but the list of neglected tropical diseases from the National Institutes of Health omits such agents as Orientia tsutsugamushi, the cause of 1 million cases of scrub typhus annually (a treatable life-threatening disease that lacks appropriate point-of-care diagnostic assays, basic knowledge of mechanisms of immunity, and a vaccine). 17 Disability adjusted years of life lost (DALYs) are an attempt to quantify the importance, severity, and impact of disease, but this approach does nothing for tropical diseases that are so neglected that DALYs have not been calculated.
