Scrub typhus presenting as an acute abdomen.
[scrub typhus]
Scrub
typhus
is
a
mite-borne
infectious
disease
caused
by
Orientia
tsutsugamushi
,
which
presents
as
an
acute
febrile
illness
with
headache
,
myalgia
,
breathlessness
,
and
an
eschar
,
a
pathognomonic
sign
,
in
a
varying
proportion
of
patients
.
However
,
this
illness
can
present
unusually
with
fever
and
severe
abdominal
pain
mimicking
acute
abdomen
.
A
careful
search
for
an
eschar
in
all
patients
with
an
acute
febrile
illness
would
provide
a
valuable
diagnostic
clue
and
avoid
unnecessary
investigations
and
surgical
exploration
.
