Scrub typhus, which is prevalent in the Asia Pacific region is most feared owing to its life-threatening neurological complications. We present four cases of scrub typhus with acute encephalitis, including one with multiorgan failure and another serologically proven co-infection with Hepatitis C. Treatment of scrub typhus is not, however, so difficult, so its early diagnosis is paramount.
