Abstract
A patient with scrub typhus was successfully treated with doxycycline following ‘spot diagnosis’ based on the presence of typical eschar in association with fever. The diagnosis was promptly suspected at the first referral consultation. Early diagnosis and treatment are important because this disease can be associated with considerable morbidity and simple effective treatment is easily available.
