Pancreatitis in scrub typhus: a rare complication.
[scrub typhus]
Scrub
typhus
is
a
zoonosis
transmitted
by
a
trombiculid
mite
which
introduces
bacteria
of
Orientia
tsutsugamushi
by
its
bite
.
The
acute
febrile
illness
is
characterised
by
eschar
at
the
site
of
the
bite
with
maculopapular
rashes
and
local
and
/
or
generalised
lymphadenopathy
.
The
disease
is
endemic
in
the
tsutsugamushi
triangle
.
Sikkim
,
a
small
Himalayan
north-
eastern
state
,
is
also
not
unaffected
where
outbreaks
of
the
disease
have
been
reported
.
The
clinical
spectrum
of
the
disease
ranges
from
mild
to
fatal
depending
on
the
virulence
of
the
bacterial
strain
,
susceptibility
of
the
host
and
promptness
of
the
treatment
.
In
severe
cases
,
there
can
be
multiple
organ
involvement
.
Pancreatitis
is
a
serious
and
unusual
complication
of
this
disease
,
which
was
seen
in
our
presentation
.
A
22
-
year
-old
man
,
diagnosed
to
have
scrub
typhus
,
developed
pancreatitis
in
the
second
week
of
the
illness
and
responded
well
to
medical
treatment
.
