Abstract
|
|
|
|
Scrub typhus is a mite-borne infectious disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. It is an acute febrile illness characterized by a typical primary lesion(eschar), generalized lymphadenopathy, rash, and non?specific symptoms such as fever, chills, cough, abdominal pain and myalgia. Complications include myocarditis, meningitis, acute renal failure and interstitial pneumonia. Serious complications are not common, but it may be fatal if diagnosis is delayed. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a rarely reported but serious complication of scrub typhus. So we report a case of Scrub typhus with ARDS.
