Abstract

In India, scrub typhus is the most often reported rickettsial infection and Orientia tsutsugamushi is the causal organism. Because of its variable appearance, lack of understanding about the disease, low level of suspicion among doctors and lack of diagnostic facilities in the community, scrub typhus is typically under diagnosed in our nation. To evaluate the clinical characteristics of young patients at a tertiary care facility in Eastern India who have been diagnosed with scrub typhus, with a focus on typical presenting symptoms, indicators and disease duration. to assess the biochemical markers of scrub typhus in children, such as complete blood counts, liver function tests and renal function tests, in order to spot typical lab abnormalities. The study design was Prospective observational study. Place of study were Department of Pediatrics Christian medical College, Vellore Chennai. 1 year. 100. Twenty (20.0%) patients in our study experienced fever, thirty (30.0%) coughed, fifteen (15.0%) experienced abdominal pain, twenty‐five (25.0%) experienced vomiting and ten (10.0%) experienced icterus of symptoms. Z has a value of 3.5355. P has a value of.0004. At p <.05., the outcome is significant. We came to the conclusion that fever, rash and hepatosplenomegaly are prevalent symptoms of scrub typhus, which has a diverse clinical and biochemical profile in the juvenile population. Serious side affects such myocarditis, ARDS and multi‐organ failure can result from delayed diagnosis, highlighting the importance of early detection and timely treatment.
