A case report of Scrub Typhus mimicking Dengue from a nonendemic region in Telangana state of South India
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Scrub typhus is an acute febrile illness, with varied clinical pictures which can involve multiple organ systems and can result in significant morbidity and mortality. This zoonotic infection is caused by the obligate intracellular bacteria Orientiatsutsugamushi, which is transmitted to humans by the bite of the larval trombiculid mite. In South and Southeast Asia and the Asian Pacific rim, scrub typhus is a major public health threat.However, from this part of the country, Telangana, Scrub Typhus is not very frequently seen or diagnosed often. We report a case of fever with rash which was suspected to be Dengue fever in view of clinical features and endemicity but eventually turned out to be Scrub typhus
