Abstract

Scrub typhus, an acute febrile illness caused by Rickettsia and transmitted by mites, is a re-emerging endemic zoonosis in the Asia Pacific region. It is an uncommon entity and very few cases of this disease in pregnant women have been reported. We present a series of six such cases collected over 1 year with poor feto-maternal outcome in 50%.
