Deskripsi

Scrub typhus is a mite borne infection, caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. It is a common cause of pyrexia of unknown origin, especially in the Indian subcontinent. Although it is well known that the infection can affect various systems, and present itself in myriad ways, we present a rare finding of opsoclonus associated with scrub typhus infection. It emphasizes on how even common and well known diseases can have unusual manifestations.
