Acute encephalitis syndrome caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi

Health Technology, 2019
Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) secondary to scrub typhus infection is rarely seen clinically. A 50-year-old man was brought to our emergency department (ED) with weakness, disorientation, and bizarre behavior. An episode of generalized tonic-clonic (GTC) seizure occurred with urine and stool incontinence, and he became unresponsive.
