Abstract:
Scrub typhus, once endemic in India, has virtually disappeared from our country. Recently, there have been many case reports of scrub typhus. Haematuria in scrub typhus is a rare presentation, but it has been reported earlier. Here one such case of a 55-year-old man is reported who presented with fever and arthralgia. There was an erythematous maculopapular rash on his body. One enlarged lymph node in the right axilla and hepatomegaly were elicited. Weil-Felix reaction Ox-K was positive with 1:360 dilution. Doxycycline was advised for 7 days. Two months after follow-up, he had no symptoms.
