Scrub typhus is one of the re-emerging infectious diseases in India, whereas hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) results from an uncontrolled and ineffective hyperinflammatory response to a variety of triggers. HLH is categorized into primary and secondary type with infection being one of the leading causes of secondary HLH. Here, we report a case of 3-month-old girl diagnosed with scrub typhus associated with secondary HLH as both the age of presentation and the association are rarely reported in literature.
恙虫病是印度重新出现的传染病之一，而噬血细胞性淋巴组织细胞增生症（HLH）是由于对各种触发因素的失控和无效的过度炎症反应引起的。HLH 分为原发性和继发性，感染是继发性 HLH 的主要原因之一。在这里，我们报告了一例 3 个月大的女孩，被诊断为恙虫病合并继发性 HLH，因为其发病年龄和相关性在文献中很少报道。
