Abstract:
Vector-Borne disease represent a significant global public health issue, with tsutsugamushi disease (TD) being a notable zoonotic disease transmitted through the bites of chigger larvae. TD is associated with a broad spectrum of complications and is characterized by high rates of morbidity and mortality. Diagnostic, therapeutic, and care standards for TD differ across regions worldwide, and there is a dearth of documented care cases. This case report details a critical TD presentation involving infectious shock and multiple organ failure. After nine days of intensive treatment and nursing intervention, which included correction of hypoxemia, anti-infection measures, antispasmodic and asthmatic management, and stabilization of the internal environment, the patient's condition was effectively managed.
