Scrub typhus has been previously reported from north and eastern Indian states and areas such as Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Assam, Sikkim, and Darjeeling district of West Bengal. It has also been known to be endemic in some parts of South India (Eastern and Western Ghats). However, no cases have ever been reported from the southern districts of West Bengal. Here, we report five cases of scrub typhus from South 24 Parganas and Kolkata, two districts in the southern part of West Bengal, India.

此前曾有报道称，印度北部和东部各邦以及克什米尔、喜马偕尔邦、阿萨姆邦、锡金邦和西孟加拉邦大吉岭地区出现过恙虫病。据了解，印度南部部分地区（东高止山脉和西高止山脉）也有恙虫病流行。然而，西孟加拉邦南部各地区此前从未有过病例报告。在此，我们报告了印度西孟加拉邦南部两个地区——南24帕加纳斯和加尔各答的5例恙虫病病例。
