Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) due to infections is an important preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in the tropical region. The prevalence and outcome of AKI in children with scrub typhus is not known. We report a case of AKI in a 2 year old child who had presented to our hospital with acute nephritic syndrome. With clinical suspicion on presence of an eschar and laboratory investigations the child was diagnosed to have scrub typhus. With definite treatment the child improved and recovered completely.
