Scrub typhus, a salient threat: Needs attention.

Scrub typhus (ST) infection is one of the most significant causes of acute undifferentiated febrile illness, and its prevalence has been increasing across the globe. Clinical suspicion and growing clinical understanding among healthcare professionals have resulted in the rapid diagnosis and effective management. Since ST has the potential to cause multiorgan failure and a higher mortality rate, it is critical to enhance surveillance, make rapid diagnosis, and administer antibiotics appropriately.
