ABSTRACT
Forty-one cases of scrub typhus in the Defence Services General Hospital, Mingaladon and the No. I, Base Military Hospital, Maymyo were studied between November 1965 and December 1966. The frequency of primary eschar was found to vary with different series. Analysis of the clinical features not attributable to CNS revealed that 73.4 per cent had eschars, 90 per cent had lymphaodenpathy, 41.5 per cent had splenomegaly and 65.9 per cent had hepatomegaly. All the 41 cases showed a prompt response to chloramphenicol and tetracycline.
