Scrub typhus is being increasingly reported in adults in India. It should be considered a strong possibility in all undifferentiated fevers. Two children with this infection are being reported highlighting the wide variation in clinical presentation. Specific tests should be preferred over Weil Felix test wherever possible especially in areas reporting a high incidence of the infection.
在印度,成人恙虫病的报告越来越多。在所有不明原因的发热中,都应高度怀疑该病。现报告两例该感染患儿,以突出临床表现的广泛差异。只要有可能,应优先进行特异性检测而非外斐试验,尤其是在该感染发病率高的地区。
