Abstract

Scrub typhus is re-emerging in India. We describe an outbreak of 45 cases from our tertiary care center in north India. This outbreak included city dwellers who had no history of travel to hilly areas. The classical feature of scrub typhus, the eschar, was also noted rarely in these patients. The changing epidemiology of scrub typhus should be kept in mind while attending patients with acute febrile illness.
