Delayed diagnosis of Scrub Typhus in Dengue epidemic: A Case Report
We report a case of scrub typhus presenting with fever and thrombocytopenia highlighting the wide variation in clinical presentations leading to delayed diagnosis in dengue epidemic. Fever and thrombocytopenia are the most common clinical presentation in

Typhus Fever – Rickettsia prowazekii
Epidemic typhus results from infection by Rickettsia prowazekii, a Gram negative, obligate intracellular bacterium. At least two strains can be distinguished by genetic analysis.
core
Rickettsia prowazekii is a notable intracellular pathogen, the agent of epidemic typhus, and a potential biothreat agent. We present here whole-genome sequence data for four strains of R.
