Abstract:
This case report presents an instance of scrub typhus, distinguished by a solitary eschar on the thigh, and explores the application of dermoscopy with 365 nm ultraviolet illumination for real-time monitoring during treatment. Scrub typhus, caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, typically manifests with eschars that can be easily overlooked due to their painless nature. This case highlights the utility of dermoscopy in improving eschar detection and therapeutic monitoring, offering a novel approach to managing this potentially severe disease.
