RESUMO
Scrub typhus is an acute febrile illness caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi that manifests with fever, skin rash, and myalgia. The spectrum of clinical severity ranges from mild to severe, with fatal complications including acute renal failure, gastrointestinal bleeding, meningoencephalitis, myocarditis, and pneumonitis. We report here a case of a 54-year-old woman with scrub typhus complicating oculomotor nerve impairment.
