Abstract

We report on a 25-year-old man who had scrub typhus with the unusual complication of acute renal failure. The clinical features of fever, headache, high Weil-Felix OX-K agglutination and Rickettsia tsutsugamushi immunofluorescence titers confirmed the diagnosis of scrub typhus. Acute renal failure was proven by oliguria, urinary diagnostic indices and renal biopsy. The patient had a complete recovery after adequate medical treatment.
