Splenic infarct due to scrub typhus.
[scrub typhus]
Scrub
typhus
is
a
mite
borne
infectious
disease
that
has
the
potential
to
involve
multiple
organs
and
can
be
fatal
.
Involvement
of
the
abdomen
in
the
form
of
hepatitis
,
gastric
ulcerations
and
pancreatitis
are
well-documented
,
the
pathology
being
disseminated
vasculitis
.
However
involvement
of
the
spleen
in
scrub
typhus
is
extremely
rare
and
is
reported
only
in
a
few
autopsy
studies
.
We
report
the
case
of
a
50
-
year
-old
lady
who
presented
with
fever
and
left
upper
quadrant
abdominal
pain
due
to
a
splenic
infarct
due
to
scrub
typhus
.
