| Core Tip |
This case of scrub typhus we reported mainly manifested as diffuse peritonitis, pulmonary edema and other multiorgan dysfunction, but lacked typical eschar, and the first Weil-Felix test was negative. Tracing back his travel history of jungle activities five days before the onset, doxycycline (100 mg q12h) was added empirically to cover atypical bacteria. He was finally discharged in a relatively stable condition under appropriate antibiotics including meropenem and doxycycline seven days after admission. This rare presentation of peritonitis, pulmonary edema, and pancreatitis caused by scrub typhus remind physicians to be alert to the possibility of scrub typhus. |
