Abstract
Scrub typhus is not a recent disease. This was prominent before the era of World War II. However, the disease is primarily prevalent in the Pacific Islands and southeast Asia. The symptoms begin with fever, eschar development, and a rash. As a result, diagnosing the disease has become more complex because comparable symptoms can be observed in a variety of other conditions. Therefore, proper diagnostic tests are required to diagnose the condition. Scrub typhus infections are increasing in India every year, and several states are reporting an increase in cases. The disease mostly affects the gastrointestinal system, nervous system, renal systems, and respiratory systems; however, mortality can be minimized with early diagnosis and adequate treatment. As many people in India are unaware of the condition, raising awareness will help in the saving of many lives.
