Indian tick typhus presenting as Purpura fulminans.
[typhoid]
Seriously
ill
patients
presenting
with
purpura
fulminans
,
sepsis
and
multi-organ
failure
often
require
extensive
diagnostic
workup
for
proper
diagnosis
and
management

diseases

and

reactions
are
often
kept
in

and
the
index
of
suspicion
for
rickettsial
illness
is
quite
low
.
We
present
a
case
of
Indian
tick
typhus
presenting
with
purpura
fulminans
(
retiform
purpura
all
over
the
body
)
,
sepsis
and
multiorgan
failure
without
lymphadenopathy
and
eschar
,
successfully
treated
with
doxycycline
and
discharged
home
.
Hence
,
a
high
index
clinical
suspicion
and
prompt
administration
of
a
simple
therapy
has
led
to
successful
recovery
of
the
patient
.
