Abstract
Scrub typhus caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi is an uncommon cause of pneumonitis. We report a case of scrub typhus presenting with bilateral pneumonitis, left ventricular dysfunction and eschar. The present case reiterates the importance of careful physical examination in the early diagnosis of scrub typhus as aetiological cause.
