Abstract
Scrub typhus is a rickettsian disease which is seldom found in pregnancy. A 31-year-old, 34 weeks pregnant woman presented with fever, chill and cough for 6 weeks. Fetal jeopardy was found then a cesarean section was performed to deliver a 2,200 g male with hepatosplenomegaly. The mother's diagnosis was confirmed by positive Weil-Felix (OXK titer 1:320) and scrub typhus (titer 1:1600) tests. Vertical transmission was also demonstrated by a positive scrub typhus IgM in her child.Entities:
